FAQs

SemperFli Nano Silk is available in 18/0 (30 Denier) and 12/0 (50 Denier) sizes.

What colors are available?

The thread comes in Black, White, Red, Olive, Brown, and Orange.

Why must I use a ceramic bobbin holder?

The ceramic bobbin holder prevents the fine Nano Silk thread from being cut or damaged during use.

How long are the spools?

Each spool contains 50 meters of thread.

Is Nano Silk suitable for beginners?

While it can be used by beginners, the fine nature may present a learning curve. Start with simpler patterns and techniques.

How do I store the thread?

Store the thread in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sharp objects.

Troubleshooting

Thread breaks easily.

Ensure you are using a ceramic bobbin holder and check for any rough edges on your tools that may be cutting the thread. Adjust your tension and handle the thread carefully.

Difficulty in knotting.

Practice your knot tying technique. Nano Silk's fine nature may require a slightly different approach than coarser threads. Try using a whip finish tool for a more secure knot.

Pros and Cons

Pros

High tensile strength for secure knots.
Very fine diameter minimizes bulk and improves fly appearance.
Available in a wide range of colors for versatility.
Smooth finish for easy handling and tying.
Excellent for delicate and intricate patterns.

Cons

Requires the use of ceramic bobbin holders.
Finer threads can be more prone to breakage if not handled carefully.
May require practice to master due to its fineness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use SemperFli Nano Silk effectively, ensure you are using a ceramic bobbin holder. This prevents the thread from being damaged or cut during tying. Thread the Nano Silk through the bobbin holder carefully to avoid any unnecessary friction. When tying, maintain consistent tension to ensure tight wraps and secure knots. Store the thread in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its strength and color. Avoid storing it near sharp objects that could damage the spool or thread. Regularly inspect your bobbin holder for any signs of wear that could potentially damage the thread.
