Pete: That (excessive thread build up) had been one of my problems since day
one of my fly tying. I can't seem to get it into my head, that in thread, "more
isn't always better". Thanks, Chuck

Subject: Re: [VFB] Veevus thread???
I have a free sample 100m spool from JStockard, of the 16/0 black, and it is
as if two smaller-diameter threads are twisted to form that 16/0. It is a
whole lot stronger for size than other midge-sized threads that I have tried.
(I can't say that the others are 16/0 or the same denier, but it is far thicker
and far stronger than Caenis thread, about the same diameter as spiderweb and
much stronger, and I find it about as strong as uni 8/0 despite being far
thinner of a thread, but then I use an Ekich bobbin with automatic retraction
of the thread so that may be protecting the veevus from snapping.)
I love the thread and feel it is worth its price (and that's when I pay for
it, not just when it is a free sample...) because I still have trouble with
wrapping more thread-bulk than I need to tie a fly. This thread helps me by
reducing the amount of thread buildup that happens when I tie. Not the perfect
answer (that being to fix my tying and just wrap less thread wraps), but an
answer that works nevertheless.
Tight wraps,
-Pete

Anybody ever tried a thread with the brand name of "Veevus" from
Denmark??? I noticed it at J.R. Stockard's site. A bit pricey at $2.95 per only
100 meter spools, but is it worth it?? pros/cons anybody?? Thanks, Chuck
