Thanks David, all the thread you have sent me so far has been great and makes beautiful bamboo fly rods. J.D.

The #84 thread arrived yesterday and I can’t thank you enough for the genuinely terrific "customer care". I will be recommending you to any and all who need thread.

The YLI 100 spools are popular among the makers of classic style bamboo fly rods (such as myself). The line guides are held to the rod by winding silk thread over each end of the little wire guides foot. The silk is then given multiple layers of varnish to secure it in place and gives a nice smooth, translucent effect. You should be able to see some close-ups of this on my website - www.oysterbamboo.com.

Your package arrived safely today, packed with excruciating tidyness. I use this fine silk thread for bracing wires on model airplanes, especially flying models with biplane wings. My current project is a tiny control line stunt model for living room aerobatics, which will zoom about at the end of silk flying lines. This plane has an electric motor with throttle function controlled by radio. Having you as a supplier means that I do not need to hide my thread supply from my wife any longer - I ordered enough for her sewing needs as well. Thanks!

To my amazement, I received my order today (clear across the country, to my Island only reachable by boat) the same week that I placed my order! Wow - and thank you!

Appreciate your professionalism and speedy mailing.

I just wanted to thank you for the order I recently received from you. It was shipped in a timely manner (4 days from order to delivery) nicely packaged, and wonderful vibrant colors. What I most appreciated was the appropriate shipping charges. You charged me a small fee, most of which was taken up by actual postage. It makes those orders easier to submit when the shipping is not as outrageous as some other companies charge. I expect to be back ordering more thread from you soon.

This was my first time shopping on your site, but I will definitely be a return shopper.
