Overview
This is a 12 color set of 200 denier elastic fly tying thread, giving tyers a range of body and rib colors from one purchase instead of buying single spools separately.
200 denier sits in the mid-weight range for tying thread, sturdier than the 70 to 100 denier thread typically used on small dry flies but lighter than the heavy thread used for bulky saltwater patterns. The elastic quality lets the thread stretch slightly under wrap tension without snapping, which helps when whip finishing.

Who it's for
Fly tyers who want a wide color range in one set for general patterns. Not the right thread for very fine dry flies or heavy saltwater tying.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 12 colors in one purchase
- 200 denier suits general fly patterns
- Not suited to fine dry-fly work
- Exact yardage per color is unclear
Performance notes
At 200 denier the thread trades some fineness for strength, holding up under repeated wraps better than lighter dry-fly thread. The listed elastic character adds a bit of stretch during tying, which helps absorb tension when cinching down materials or whip finishing.
