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.


it is cotton and not strong .... I don't see it as an alternative tying
thread .... rather using it a little like chenille as a body material

I've tied a few 24s with it since my first post ... using Uni 8-0 to tie in
two different colors ( 1 ply each ) then wrapping them together to form a
very nice looking ( even under a magnifier) segmented midge body. Snip off
one and the tying thread, then half hitch the other ( darker ?) color
several times to form a head ... cement ( I used Dave's Flexament)

This is not my idea, I got it from "Midge Magic" .... I book I bad mouthed
to a degree when I first read it ( I still don't think we need 100 different
midge patterns each very slightly different in color), ... but I am
pleasantly surprised at how nice the DMC works for this, after all.
