The Black Spyder thread is a colour-fast semi-translucent two twist polyester based fly tyers thread, available in 18/0 30 Denier, has a 15% stretch and has a breaking strain of 14oz 390g. This allows Spyder thread to lay flat on the hook and as a semi-translucent thread it will appear to be natural Black colour for wet, dry and nymph flies.
