Do you live in a dry state? Your memory is fabulous - I asked this question in June!
Paul Marriner replied. He asked, and the formula of regular UNI hasn't changed. Some batches may just be easier to split than other ones. Paul also mentioned that there is Uni nylon 70 den that splits very easily. I tried it and he's right. Great thread for splitting. It does have some stretch though.

Hi all,
I've always thought that it was impossible to split UNI 6/0 and 8/0 because it was bonded. So I used other thread like Danville or Gudebrod for this technique (instead of dubbing loops for hair and CDC collars etc.). Today I noticed that it is possible to split UNI after all: I counterspinned the bobbin, rubbed my thumbnail along thread, pulled and wiggled thread from left to right, and I could insert my needle and split the UNI just as easily as the other makes.
Does anyone know if UNI have changed their thread?
Martin
