Question about UNI-Thread

[src]

I have been using UNI-Thread for my strops as I learn rigging. Sometime last year I bought 3 different sizes in a couple of different colors figuring I would find what looked good and what size worked and buy more when I was ready. I noticed that the 3/0 thread unravels very easily and wants to hang up as I form a knot, the 6/0 and 8/0 stay together well. I also noticed the 3/0 is made in Canada and the other two are from Spain.

 

So my question is, is it the gauge that is the issue or is it the location of manufacture? I am ready to buy more in the colors I like but before I pull the trigger on an online purchase I thought I would see what others have to say.

 

Pictures below to help illustrate what I am talking about.

 

Thanks in advance,

Sam

 

You can see here that the thread is frayed, it also catches very easily when I try to form a knot.

 

 

These thinner gauges don't have this problem (feature?)

the issue is the unusual kind of material the thread is made

Thanks for the reply, so the country of manufacture wont make a difference?

I see youre from Quebec, please dont think I am picking on your home country.
