sephirem Posted February 20, 2013 #1 Posted February 20, 2013 In the previous forums there was a thread for thread. I didn't see it reposted but interested in the links that where provided for purchasing of better quality thread. Or the types of threads those use for rigging and such.

Hyposphagma Posted February 28, 2013 #2 Posted February 28, 2013 I will make a start and post a link to the companies i buy my thread from. Unfortunately i don`t know if they are available from Webdealers outside Europe. They provide all kind of thread in all colors for ropewalking and single use: https://www.guetermann.com For ultra thin threads i can recommend this (or any other) fly fishing shop: http://www.taimen.com/en/um/category/threads-tinsels-wires/53
druxey Posted March 3, 2013 #3 Posted March 3, 2013 Gutermann cotton thread is a good possibility to consider, as quality linen thread becomes harder to find. Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv
Geoff Matson Posted March 7, 2013 #4 Posted March 7, 2013 You can get Gutermann thread at most crafts in the US. Michaels, Jo Anns farbics etc. Geoff NRG member #2666Current build : USS Constitution Finished builds: Armed Virginia Sloop (in gallery)
normanh Posted March 7, 2013 #5 Posted March 7, 2013 Guttermann sell both a linen and polyester thread thats ideal for rigging in particualr ratlines - its been well discussed in MSF 1 over the years. These are much heavier than standard sewing threads by Gutterman. Beiges and Black are readily available. I have bought mine in Hobbeycraft in the UK. Norman Current build Trumpeter Arizona 1:200 with White Ensign PE and a Nautilus Wooden Deck. Built Caldercraft Convulsion, HM Brig Badger and HMS Snake. Awaiting - Zvelda HMS Dreadnought planning to get the Pontos Deck and PE Upgrades, Panart 1:23 Gun deck model and couple of the cannon kits Manatu - French siege mortar, and American coastal cannon.
