This is the beginning of a new era in the use of silk in our fishy craft. In keeping with the Magpie ethic of high-quality materials for the discerning fly tyer, we have worked out a deal with Superior Threads to re-spool their fine KIMONO SILK THREAD on fly tying sized spools. That’s right. While Kimono is nothing new to the fly tyer, never before has it been offered on appropriately-sized spools. You’ll no longer be limited to purchasing a special, larger bobbin or re-spooling on your own. We all know about Pearsall’s as the historic fly tying thread, and commonly associate it with North Country Spiders and Flymphs. But spending $30 on a spool of quality but discontinued silk is a thing of the past. Kimono is the finest, thinnest silk thread available to our craft, and Magpie is very excited to offer it for sale as the exclusive fly tying distributor of Superior Threads’ Kimono Silk Thread. Spools are 155 yards.
