Product Description
Kevlar thread is the perfect choice for tying bass bugs saltwater steelhead salmon and streamer patterns. Many tiers also use it for "spinning" deer and elk hair for hair bugs. This thread is very strong and you can cut yourself with it if you try to break it by hand. This pre-waxed thread is about the size of 2/0 or size "A" thread and builds up fast on the hook. Each spool is 50 yards.

I had figured I should post that you get 50 yards of this. It does not say in the description. Very fast shipping, good quality thread. I'm currently using this thread for the use of strengthening my foam r/c plane. For the time being it works quite well. Very strong and sturdy.

I am not sure if you have ever used Kevlar thread before, but the thread is wonderful. It can easily cut your hand while working with it, but the strength is exceptional. I am impressed with at the treads ability to retain the died color. Often when the tread is in the sun and water this much it returns to the natural color of yellow. While this thread does lighten up the yellow tones are still muted.

Seller was great, got my product fast. I just wish I thought to ask the weight, because I needed something a bit stronger even though Kevlar is supposed to be the strongest stuff on the market. Very pleased with seller, would definitely buy from him again.

4 out of 5 stars Strong, but not colorfast   June 5, 2008

This thread is super strong. You can cut yourself with it if you try to break it with your hands. I even had trouble cutting it with a cheap scissors. It's great for reattaching buttons, especially on high-stress areas like pants. The fabric or button will probably fail before the thread ever does.

On the down side, it's not very colorfast. I used the thread to do some mending, and after about a month's use, the color is completely gone, revealing the native yellowish color of Kevlar. The thread is still intact and holding quite well, it's just not black anymore.
