Not Just for Sewing - Great for Fly Tying Too!

There are other uses for this wonderful thread - even the guys can use it! Bill Oyster from Georgia explains how he uses silk thread on his fishing rods:

"The YLI 100 spools are popular among the makers of classic style bamboo fly rods (such as myself). The line guides are held to the rod by winding silk thread over each end of the little wire guides foot. The silk is then given multiple layers of varnish to secure it in place and gives a nice smooth, translucent effect. You should be able to see some close-ups of this on my website - www.oysterbamboo.com."
