Nano Silk
Nano Silk is regarded as the tying thread choise of professional fly tyers worldwide. Being super strong and available in a vast array of colours and deniers it has endless possabilities and can be used for micro flies all the way up to Big Game flies.
Virtually unbreakable and still capable of being split down for dubbing twists. As Nano Silk lays perfectly flat you get no thread build up.
Please note - Must be used with Ceramic bobbins

But we wanted to be sure so have been working on comparing the breaking strain of Nano Silk with other tying threads. Here is what we found!Still capable of being spllt down for dubbing twists there is no fly tying materials as strong as Nano Silk anywhere! Veenus 6/0 breaks with just over 1Kg and Uni has a breaking strain of 930g (source Veevus own website this compares to Nano SIlk 6/0 breaking strain of 3.8kg!
Relative Breaking Strains
| 30 Denier | 50 Denier | 100 Denier | |
| 18/0 | 12/0 | 6/0 | |
| Veevus | 430gm | 1,000gm | |
| Nano Silk | 1,140gm | 1,900gm | 3,800gm |
| Nano Silk Strength Comparison i.e. Nano SIlk is 2 to 4 time stronger! | 2.7x | 3.6x | 3.8x |
Put simply you can use half the thread thickness of Nano Silk compared to Veevus or other GSP's on the market due to its ultra high density materials without weaking the thread compared to any other thread on the market!
