 Hi Bob, Your left-handed spelling is way better than some who have the use of BOTH hands, so I wouldn't worry too much about that mate !!  Sorry to hear about your illness and I sincerely hope that everything comes back to what it should be very soon !! Regards ... Kev.

do you mean different in colour for the different jobs or different varation in the same colour remember its natural fibers which varie and not sinfetic which would be all the same shade

hi alantait is it rough darker thread that looks more like hemp your on about i have order thread from other places depends where you go i find them all different and i dont like the shinnie thread to slippery knots come out to easy and to me harder to tie as it slackens in stead of staying tight when tieing knots not like the rough which stays tight

I must admit I was a bit confused when the 'shiney' stuff landed on the doormat, I'm still a bit unsure which type I prefer, the 'hemp' looks better but the 'synthetic' seems easier to work with especially threading the blocks, I get it to stay put by rubbing a bit watered down wood glue in it before tying. Either way I'd prefer a bobin or card full rather than little bits and pieces, that way we won't get different textures on the same section of build!  Jeff

Yes Willie your dead right, the thicker thread (rope) is different from other issues. DeAg seem to find it difficult to maintain consistancy with most of the repeated products!

I am not using any of the thinner thread as it is too fine. I am using 6lb strain fishing line and darkened black with an permanent black marker. This is much stronger, although at first a little difficult to manage, (if you have a fly-tyer in your area they will advise best way to tie line)once you tie line to blocks etc it is mch more flexible to manouvre. Dont forget you can still set with superglue as per instructions. try it for yourselves!
