I buy my linen from pyro supplies, you should be able to google it.

I buy mine there also, my last two batches of 7 strand have a breaking strength of 21# average, 7 years ago I was getting 34# from the same twine, go figure??

Did you buy their "military spec" unbleached linen? I bought only their so called "holy grail of linen" 70# breaking strength stuff so far. I only need 6 strands for a 50lb bow. It's thicker stuff though.

I have a few rolls of pyro linen, their unbleached and waxed. The quality is far below the Barbours I picked up on ebay a couple years ago

I'll check some of that barbours stuff out. I've been happy with the stuff from pyro's, but I never bought the waxed stuff, I bought the thickest 70# stuff. I take it Steve wasn't too happy with pyro's either.
