Sapper Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Hello All I have seen this mentioned several times and assume it is used for rigging. Can anyone enlarge on this. Sapper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgorSky Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 I am sorry, Sapper. But what means "Glove Thread"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSiemens Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 I'd have to look at what thread goes into making gloves. I haven't heard of people using clove thread. I use fly tying thread and find it works well. IgorSky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sapper Posted February 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 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. IgorSky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSiemens Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Can you email the supplier and see what they say? Also beeswax might help smooth it out. IgorSky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapper Posted February 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Daniel 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
