Piker20 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2016 I've been using the very fine veevus thread a while now. Has anyone else found that most spools are useless past half way down? I've found on 8 spools so far, black and clear that the thread is knotted or wrapped beneath itself once you have gone around 50% down the spool. Maybe its just been me that's unlucky. If it seems to be a common issue I will look to go back to my old thread options. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Saarinen 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2016 Sounds unusual for veevus, could just be the 30d that i have no experience with!? Gone through whole spools of veevus 10/0 & 12/0 in black with no problem! Years ago all spools of 8/0 uni in black were stuffed in my local shop, that could have been a bad batch too!?

Piker20 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2016 Yeah, I've had no issue with the 10/0. May just switch back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bugsy 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2016 I have Veevus 30d GSP, which is the only 30d product I thought Veevus marketed. But you speak of "black and clear," while the GSP is only white. Could this be their mono product? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piker20 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2016 It is a fine multi filament thread and it does only come in clear. The black was a 14/0 spool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FIN-ITE 34 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2016 I have multiple spools of 16/0, 100D & 30D and I have had absolutely no problems with any of them. As far s I am concerned the 16/0 is the strongest thread I have ever used in that type/size. The 100D I use for pike flies and spinning deer hair, works great. The 30D I am using for things like size 22 and smaller flies such as tricos and midges, again works great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piker20 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2016 I've been happy with the first 50% of the spools but not enough to justify throwing away the half spools and waste money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cheech 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2016 They had some issues with the makeup of their 30D threads, so they came out with 50D (which is both black and white.) I have had the same issue that the OP has had with the 30D, so I switched to 50D and it's much better. Not really much thicker thread without the issues.

vicrider 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2016 I have a few of those spool but haven't taken them down far enough yet. I love every Veesus thread I've got, and I've got a lot. Strongest on market IMO. I use the 17/0 for tiny stuff and it's great. Much stronger than the Spiderweb I've used. The only thread I've really not liked so far is Sheer and that's because I can never get a spool started right. Same problem Piker 20 has with Veesus. I liked Sheer but aggravation was not worth it.

Adam Saarinen 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2016 I had some little problem with sheer, but can't remember what it was, been a while! Been using 16/0 veevus for a while in a lot of colours & had no trouble at all with c&f bobbins! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
retrocarp 0 Report post Posted September 2, 2016 I had a similar problem with semperfli nano silk I purchased 10 spools 3 of which were useless Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
