Stephen Hankins of Magpie Materials is now carrying Kimono Silk on regular size spools. This is fantastic, especially since we can no longer buy Pearsall's Gossamer silk. Kimono is the closest in color I know of to Pearsall's as well. In the past it was available, but only came on very large spools. So this is a game changer!
Here is what Stephen posted when the announcement was made.
"For everyone who expressed interest, Kimono Silk Thread is now LIVE and ready to roll on MagpieMaterials.com. Check it out and start tying with what many fly tyers find to be the finest silk gossamer thread available. Magpie has improved the product for fly tyers by offering on a fly tying specific spool. No need to waste your time and energy spooling it yourself, buying a special bobbin, or tying without a bobbin; Magpie has done the work for you! 130 yards of premium gossamer Silk for $4.75 per spool. Currently spooling 20 colors, many of which match Pearsall’s. We’ll be adding many more colors soon."
