First time using silk thread!

Wow! As long as I have been tying? Finally took my tie to a new level, hesitant to do it. How can such small diameter be so easy to work with? OK, not tying #6 Sculpins. North country.

Don't care about the cost. Awesome.

Thank you

I am not sure what you are looking for here. Silk has a certain sheen not replicated by other threads. There is also a unique transparency imparted to it when wet. Like any material you need to learn its plusses and minuses.

I started with silk back in the mid 1970's and have never left it. I use the poly threads too but I still use silk regularly. If you wax silk with beeswax it tames it even more and gives it a truly unique look on the fly. Silk is so easy to tie with too.
