That is a real confidence pattern. Handsome design, beautifully proportioned.

Scott - How do you like the MFC thread? I've never tried it. Lately I have been playing mostly with the 8/0 UNI and 12/0 Veevus threads. I'd be currious to know your experience with the MFC thread.
I keep coming back to look at this pattern again and again. Really nice all-purpose design. This color combination harmonizes well, but as you say, the colors could be switched out to come up with a whole series of AP Fluff variations.

That looks like one for the fly box, Scott. Very nicely dressed as well.
Ray, when I was at Jim's I got to use some MFC thread, along with some of their other items. I liked them a lot. The thread laid flat, was strong for it's size, and came in a mess of colors. When I don't use Pearsall's, my go to threads are Danville 6/0 and the MFC thread.
