I have a spool of 8/0 UNI in olive that is as you described. All my other colors of UNI in 8/0 are fine. I just suffer through the frays and breaks because I don't have any more and can't seem to remember to pick any up when I am at the flyshop.

Those of you who tie small flies, no, those of you who tie tiny flies. What do you prefer for thread? I got some 14/O that I'm very disappointed with. I believe the brand name is UTC, the strands come apart and go flat making it harder to tie the fly. What are the suggestions some of you tiny fly tiers have?
I've never used 14/0, but I've been relatively happy with 8/0 Unithread. Unfortunately, I almost gave up on it after the first spool because it was exactly like you described, although just occasionally (about every 3rd fly). It must have been a bad production run. I bought a replacement spool and it was fine.
