Pro Tips
Rotate your bobbin anti-clockwise to untwist the thread so it lies perfectly flat. With just a few light wraps, you can secure foams and other delicate materials without cutting them.
Use white Nano Silk and color the last 4 inches (100 mm) for custom-colored heads and hotspots.
Not all GSP threads are created equal. Independent strength tests show Nano Silk’s superior performance, thanks to the use of the highest-grade materials and production methods that ensure unmatched smoothness, consistency, and reliability across all sizes. (Search for the Global Fly Fisher Thread Chart to see independent results.)
Note: As with all GSP threads, always use a ceramic bobbin holder to protect your thread.
