Veevus Thread 16/0

Veevus Thread 16/0 is a fly-tying thread intended for patterns where a very compact, precise build is important. The product description identifies it as extremely strong for its purpose and specifically recommends it for tying the smallest flies. The 16/0 designation is the model name; it should not be read as a direct measurement of diameter or as an unstated breaking-strength figure.

Construction and use

Use it for building small bodies, heads and other fine details when extra thread bulk would be undesirable. It can serve as the main securing thread throughout the construction of a small pattern. A moderate bobbin setting and deliberate wraps make it easier to control material placement and take advantage of the thread’s stated strength without creating unnecessary ridges.

• Type: Fly-tying thread.
• Designation: 16/0; this is a product designation, not a supplied size or strength measurement.
• Best suited to: The smallest flies and compact, carefully proportioned details.
• Handling tip: Keep the wraps even and increase tension gradually for better control on delicate constructions.
