Default DMC

What is the thread size compared to standard guderbrod threads? is it strong
and small enought to be used on those tiny POS 22's through 26's.
I have a bunch hooks but get scared everytime I think about tying on them.
I do need jewelers glasses to tie..I wuold hope the DMC would be an
effective alternate to current threads. but I know the flies produce more
than can be imagined when in view of trout.. Did I get off track/ That is
typical until i am on the tying vise. Too much Tawny Port. I will fervantly
shop Michaels tomorrow morning for DMC.
Thank you,
Guy
Anyone for a trip to Colorado tonight?

DMC embroidery floss is worth looking at for tying tiny flies

I saw the idea in a midges book a year ago, but just got around to

stopping
at a crafts shop.

Comes in a huge variety of colors, and a single ply of the 5 ply thread is
certainly small enough to body a 24 or 26 hook ... and it's cheap, I got

10
colors for about $5

If you fish tailwaters where midge lava and pupa are very important ...
check this stuff out I'm also going to try using it on 22 baetis ties,

I
think I can get a neater body than with dubbing and better color than just
tying thread
