Ultra Thread. "The World’s best tying thread".

UTC70 and UTC140

Wapsi have gone to great lengths to come up with the best tying thread available. Ties flat, lightly waxed, slow building. On a spool with a thread retainer built it (side washer). Boxed so that delivered package acts as a dispenser. Can be hung on a pegboard. Sizes are 70 denier and 140 denier, which match Danvilles 6/0 and Unithread 6/0 respectively (Denier is an accurate measurement of thread as used by the thread industry, the 6/0 size etc. is an inaccurate system and actually means nothing). Thread has a small amount of stretch in it, same as Danvilles (and lacking in Uni thread) to make fly tying a pleasure not a pain. Sold in boxes of 12 spools, 100yds/spool. I have used this thread and it is the Bees Knees.

Here’s what Wapsi have to say about it -

"Ultra Thread is an engineered fly tying thread. All of its characteristics have been chosen to enhance its tying performance. Ultra Thread has been specially dyed in 18 great fly tying colours. The spool was specifically designed to accommodate standard bobbins. The spool also features a colour code end cap that will easily secure the tag end of the thread. Labels are colour coded for size and have the thread colour name. Boxed in a self feeding display box of a dozen".

This has been a well received new product.
