I use UNI thread 8/0 almost exclusively, I've been very happy with it and as I use up the few colors I still have in other brands I'll replace them with the UNI 8/0. I was just curious if there was something of a smaller diameter for the really small stuff. According to the post by Wes it seems that getting the 14/0 in other brands proves nothing. But it sure seems there should be something with a smaller diameter. I may try splitting some thread and see how that goes.
