This 100% pure silk thread is great for wrapping fletching and self nocks. Works well for "period" sewing too. Available in black, red, and yellow. Available in 1/2 (600') oz. bobins. Truly the desired thread of Kings and Queens down through the centuries. Silk is the finest natural fiber in the world. Our bead cord is extremely supple, yet resistant to stretch and wear.

Comments about Pure Silk:

I've used this to bind fletching on two dozen arrows so far, and it adds a nice touch. It will wear down if's constantly passed through a target, but using some sort of clear drying glue over it will help to keep it secure and protected.

I use this pure silk to wrap feathers on arrow shafts to help hold the feathers down, and believe me it works great. It's worth trying too see for yourself.
