Gordon Griffiths Thread

[phearless]

While we are on threads about threads
Gordon Griffiths 14/0 is an excellant thread.
I use it for most of my more complicated steelhead flies.
Low. low bulk.
Smooth and strong.
I put it at 8/0 compared to other brands.
It is multi strand so it can be split for dubbing.
So far for for my smallest flies, this is the thread I reach for.

Interesting, I've never tried that brand. What sold me on Bennechi was the colours. How does Griffith's compare?

[phearless]

If memory serves me right, the colour selection is quite good.
20 colours believe.
Right now I have black and white.
I very often use white and colour it to match the fly.
It is a trick I learned from Harry Lemire, among others

Yes it is awesome.
Even with my ill expertise.
Black and white and a handful of sharpies.
