Exclamation Biscuit blob

Hi all I saw one of these a couple of years ago at a comp but have no idea how to get the correct colour of fritz.. I have looked at other threads on here but they only discuss the deer hair version.. I know it was deff fritz in a light brown. If anyone knows where I can buy some it would by greatly appreciated.. Or if someone knows what colour to bleach to get a light brown just as good.. Tried bleaching hot coral today and got a nice washed out purple which was interesting, but a light brown would b better. If anyone can help iv got a nice little pattern that won an international on Rutland a few months back which I'd b happy to share...

Why not colour the fritz yourself. Buy some white, then colour it with marker pen. That way you can get the exact colour you require.

Buy white, then get yourself some caramel dye or a dye that colour suits

Brown Fritz is not in the original biscuit.

Just go on to the Fulling Mill website

Fulling Mill Ltd

and enter "dog biscuit" or "biscuit" in the "search the catalogue" box and two patterns come up

Fling it out and,pull it back,just vary the speed and depth till you find out the way they want it.
