I use Hushpuppies only to support the site, in the past wool yarn sprayed with Scothguard both very small. On the Hushpuppies I cut them in half width wise and then trim them very very small around my string. I also use Cat Whiskers with them but same deal around a 1" long & 1" wide. If that don't work you have other issues.
Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils.

Beaver or otter. I find that they tend to pick up and hold a lot fewer burrs, stickers, etc. than wool.
