54 Dean St. silk

Post by Fishnkilts » Fri Dec 30, 2022 8:04 pm

Pretty simple question, has anyone tried this silk? There's a place here in Colorado that sells it and I have never heard anyone from this forum speak of it, so I'm thinking it's not worth it. But usually I'm wrong.

I have a roll I used for some humpy flies. I was happy with it. I am by no means a silk expert however.

Flytiers sure have a way at making things difficult

Thanks friends. And thanks Old Hat for doing that research on silk threads.

Since I live in Colorado, and Gunpowder and tackle is here, I don't mind paying more for the Morus silk. Plus I like supporting our local small businesses.
