Looking at the web site it appears to be like any other cotton thread. I have no intention of using it as I am quite happy with fly tying thread. I was curious because I had seen it mentioned a few times. Seeing as how no one else has heard of it let's just put this post to bed.
It is thread used to make gloves but I can't find out whether it as fine or coarse. I do know it is 100% Cotton. The only supplier I could find is in Paris.

According to the Macmillan Dictionary, Carafology is The Art of putting Tiny Ships in Bottles. This was submitted by Bob Arrowsmith, Honorary Vice President of EASIB on 25/10/2015.
Carafe is French, The open top flask in which wine is served. There are a couple of entries on Google.

Hello All
Picked up a copy of The Oxford Companion To Ships & The Sea in a charity shop yesterday. Almost 1,000 pages of marine interest and great to just dip in when you have a few minutes to spare. (£2.00)
Having suddenly realised that my rope work skills were dying I bought The Directory of Knots by John Shaw from Amazon for the vast price of 1 Penny plus Postage and am now brushing up on my Knots.
Whilst on the subject of knots, the Swedish Bottlers site have a couple of interesting gadgets for tying Turks Heads. Look under tools.
