Textreme Power Thread Medium (100 Den.)
Textreme Power Thread Md (100 Den.) is a technical-polymer thread with a calibrated twist. It lays flat and smooth, supporting orderly wraps when building medium and large flies. The thread is intended for situations requiring high strength with limited bulk; the denier designation should not be read as a direct statement of diameter. The spool is 100 m, the thread size is 100 Den, and the stated breaking strain is 3.80 kg. It is suited to securing and closing components on larger patterns where controlled material build-up is useful.
Construction and use
The calibrated twist gives this thread a flat, smooth laying character rather than the behaviour of a conventional soft twisted thread. Its polymer surface is slippery, so maintain deliberate bobbin tension. The manufacturer recommends a ceramic-tip bobbin and cyanoacrylate before crucial steps. This preparation helps hold the construction securely when the wraps must stay in position.
