Textreme St Type (240 Den.) Metallic Thread

Textreme St Type (240 Den.) is a metallic rounded thread for precise fly-tying work. Its profile makes it suitable for a fine, regular wrap when a broad tinsel would be too pronounced. The material is intended especially for micro ribbing, where closely spaced turns define small body segments, and for building chironomid bodies. It is useful when a pattern needs a controlled metallic accent rather than a wide reflective surface. Keep the thread under steady tension while tying and place each turn next to the previous one. This practical approach helps the ribbing remain even and lets the rounded profile perform as intended.

Construction and use

St Type 240 Den. is a metallic spooled material, distinct from flat tinsel. It can be used on its own as a structural body element or as a restrained finishing detail. The format is particularly well suited to small, economical patterns where accurate placement and a fine flash effect matter more than coverage.
