MAKOI

WOW, is all that I have to say about it... MUCH more manageable than the tread I had been previously using and absolutely ZERO issues with uncoiling, twisting, separating or any of the other problems that I have experienced with metallic threads in the past (the listed problems were not unique to one specific company, they are simply a culmination of problems that I have experienced throughout my time wrapping)

I ordered from Karen at Bingham on Monday and I have it in my hands today and on the rod already.... SUPER SATISFIED with both Bingham and Makoi.

If you are having problems with your current thread give this a shot you will be very happy!!

No, I am not associated with Makoi or Bingham in any fashion. I am simply a VERY satisfied consumer!!

Tom

Makoi thread is not up on my site yet. You can use the Makoi site to look at colors and then if you want to order just send me an e-mail. Both wholesale and retail prices available.

The nylon thread is EXCELLENT too. The size D is pretty fine - reminds me almost of size B. Really nice to work with, and when finishing I get a LOT LESS bubbles popping up, and end up with glassy smooth finishes after the first coat.

This is the best thread I have ever used - and it's carried by the best supplier too - what more do you want?

Thanks - Marc

Keep it simple - that's all I can handle!

Marc,

I have some of the nylon as well.... I am utterly impressed with the whole line up. Karen threw in a sample of their braid and it is the perfect color for a project that I am currently working on. It handles great as well. I have found my new thread!!!! Keep the colors coming Makoi!!

Thanks for posting. I am always looking for quality thread and this looks great. On the site link they even have a color matching tool. This makes picking color combinations easy with side by side viewing.
