Great News!
Custom Fly Rod Crafters is stocking the very popular Kimono Silk Thread for custom rod builders. This gorgeous silk is fast becoming the high bar for silk rod thread. After the closing of the Pearsall's silk thread factory, which by the way was the standard for silk thread, we were lucky to find a good source.
The thread comes in a hefty 220 yd spool and costs only $5.99 per spool.
