Default Danvilles mono thread
Does anyone have a spool of this knocking around and wants to swap one for something? Preferably the fine size rather than the extra fine.

Thanks Ben

I use Uni-mono, 200 yard spools, size 4m, fine/clear. I can send you a spool if you want?

Nope. I still owe you for the other stuff. I've got your address. I'll try to drop a spool in the post tomorrow morning.

This stuff is basically commercial sewing nylon . Much the same spec as is used in Braided Nylon ( ie around 1.25lb bs ) Sewing nylon is a fair bit stiffer than fly fishing nylon .

Instead of buying silly little spools - around £22 per kilo out of German Bayer or UK Donisthorpe - and wind it yourself on a sewing m/c.

Let me have the o/d and I'll see what I can do for you !

Best wishes

Steve, that would be great, the listed diameter is 0.06, I believe that is in mm, it would be roughly the right thickness.
