Ran low on thread and there is no place locally to pick some up, so I am considering using my wife's 100% rayon thread. Is about the same diameter as A thread.

Is this a good idea? Is rayon as strong as nylon? Does it hold up to sunlight as well?

Thanks in advance.

I´ve used "Floss d´Rayon" to wrap hook-keepers, turned out nice.
I also been told some rayon has silicon so it might not be "long-lasting". I do not know about the Strength of it.

Hi Tony.

I did some test wraps on rayon thread since its easy to find and comes in many colors. What I found was that the rayon thread is more "fuzzy" and small strands of the thread is popping out here and there. If You compare with a good nylon thread, such as the ones from Gudebrod, You will find a more even thread with less or no "fuzzyness" (?) on the Gudebrod.

You will notice this when youre applying the finish. I did.
But maybe there are varius quality on rayon threads? I have not found any. Yet....

Kind regards.
