Best Silk for Whipping?
« on: July 29, 2025, 03:27:56 am »
Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knew a good silk for whipping English livery arrows? One of the problems I have is the silk being very weak and often breaking during fletching or in use. I've tried Guttermann silk which is very weak, I've also tried another brand of silk which is 30 weight - about the same thickness of the Guttermann linen thread and is about as thick as I'd like to go - and while it's a bit stronger it's still very weak and nowhere near as strong as linen.
