Textreme Pure Silk (90 Den.) Fly Tying Thread
Textreme Pure Silk (90 Den.) is a thin thread made from pure silk. It is bright and soft, so it can serve not only for securing materials but also for forming a visible fly body. The verified recommendation covers complete bodies and ribbing over natural body materials. It is suggested for hook sizes 12–16. The spool is 50 m and the thread size is 90 Den. Its silk construction gives it a different tying character from technical-polymer threads and transparent monofilament.
Construction and use
The softness and brightness of pure silk make it useful as a visible finishing element when the thread is intended to show in the body or rib. It suits work over natural body materials where a gentle, controlled application is preferred. Maintain even tension while tying and place the wraps consistently so the soft thread does not gather into unintended thick spots.
