Hints
If you rotate Nano Silk anti clockwise to untwist (it has 100 twists per meter to keep the thread together) it will lay perfectly flat, it can be used for foam or split for a dubbing loop with a fine needle.
White Nano Silk can be dyed with a simple permanent marker pen for any color you may desire. Alternatively, the last 4” 100mm can be colored with a marker pen for a head.
As with ALL GSP type threads Nano Silk must be used with a ceramic bobbin holder.
It is recommended that you use a craft blade or razor blade to cut Nano Silk. It is extremely tough, please don’t use your best scissors!
