Questions about thread.

Recommended Posts

So I bought a large lot of tying materials and tools a while back to get me started tying. The draw back was there all all kinds of materials and stuff I've had trouble identifying.

 

My question is.... I have this thread that I have been using occasionally that is awesome. It has no label on the spool, but it seems like a very waxy, flat single strand. It is very strong. Any ideas what I could be talking about? I think I would like to find it in other colors for tying different patterns.

 

If you have any ideas as to what I am using I'm very interested in finding out.

 

Thanks,

T~

Sounds like Danville's Flat Waxed Nylon thread, a 210 denier. I believe in comes in about 18-20 colors.

I do not believe it is kevlar. I bought some black kevlar and I hate it! I notice if there is ever an uncalculated drop or bumb of the bobbin the thread loosens up, It practically unwinds half way down the hook.

 

IT REALLY TORQUES ME! So I just don't torture myself with it any more.

if it unwinds its not the thread spool

 

bend the bobbin holders arms in towards each other so that the spool isnt loose

 

that thread could also be some danvilles flymaster

 

show us a picture!
