50/0 thread... When a tiny baby spider shoots out an almost invisible string of web material, and it floats off into space on the slightest breeze...
This thread is finer than that web, as a piece of it floats off by itself with just the heat rise in a still room. No kidding. When I hang the bobbin from the vise with it, one has to look at it just right to see the light reflect off of it, or it looks like the bobbin is suspended in mid-air. Ask Jayhawk Jeff- he got a demo. I think I sent Paul Marriner a sample too. I'd like to know if this stuff will even mic out as anything at all. Can anyone test it for me?
