RBohlman Posted July 25, 2019 #1 Posted July 25, 2019 I ordered a Syren Serv-o-Matic Ship Model Rope Serving Machine yesterday. I have not had much luck in finding a vendor to purchase the 100 wt black thread from. Anyone know some vendors for thread? ~ THANKS ~ Quote CURRENT BUILD: HMS Winchelsea, 1764 ~ 1:48 scale COMPLETED BUILDS: New Bedford Whaleboat ~ 1:16 scale Ships in Bottles Models Card Stock Nautical Models ~Donor & Member of Nautical Research Guild~

mtaylor Posted July 26, 2019 #5 Posted July 26, 2019 You might try one of the craft chain stores. I've bought some from JoAnnes but it was 35wt. It did come in other sizes, but in smaller spools and not the colors I wanted.
