Re: Benicchi Thread
My Google showed "Gordon Griffith" on the spool. Thats what has me wondering.
Mine doesnt. It doesnt matter as I do like the thread and intend on using it. I was just wondering.
Oh, and my spools are a light yellow in color. Everything I am seeing after I GOOGLED was white spools.
Thank you Ray

Re: Benicchi Thread
Your spools also say "Made in UK" on them, which seems to support them being Griffith's Sheer thread.
This link has the Griffith's thread on a yellow spool.

Re: Benicchi Thread
Ray's confirmed it, but I can say I have a few of the spools which are a dark ivory color and some that are just white. Some say Gordon Griffith's and some just say Sheer 14/0 on them. They are all the same, and have the same high qualities and issues that I mentioned. This is my go to thread. I buy it when I see it, and sometimes just for fun. It's that weird tier's nervousness that one day you'll find out someone stopped making a product you depend on. Maybe I should pick up another ff806 while I'm thinking about it.

Re: Benicchi Thread
Interesting stuff. Anyone ever try this. I found it by accident, but it looks good, and the price is pretty good, too!

I may order a few.

Oops, I see there's a problem. No color choices. Wonder what is going on?

Re: Benicchi Thread
Thanks.
Re: Benicchi Thread
I cant say they had much of a selection, but what they had is what I was after. I already have my fly boxes packed away for a trip tomorrow. I am going to have to drag out my Midge/Micro Mayfly box and load it with some of these baetis I tyed.
