Matt,

 

Just watched Nigel Armitage's YouTube RE: the slam thread.  Looks quite promising and Mr. Armitage did go on a bit, very favorably.  Am just starting to do a bit more hand work, getting Tiger from Canada; however,  So this looks quite nice.

Is there any plan to add some heavier weights...1.0, 1.2, 1.4mm?

 

Thanks

I saw Nigel's video as well, as soon as the video was uploaded.  Right now, I've got a bit of .9mm Maine thread that I have to go through, which is a tad thicker than I expected it to be.  I expect that Slam will definitely be a viable option for me in the future, though.

Being the complete novice that I am, 500m of thread seems like a HUGE amount to use.  For $25 a roll, this is a great deal, but I can't help but think that for my purposes, it could get pretty damn costly if I want a bunch of different colours (at the very least the basic brown/white/black); and then I'd end up with more thread than I know what to do with.  Any chance of getting smaller rolls at a reduced price?

Yes, what's up with the missing colors? I wanted to try the blue in 0.6 but it's never available.

I've asked a few times about the 0.6mm thread some months back, never got any concrete detail about if they'd be replaced at all. Eager to see it again, I'm quite happy with the spool I got.

A shame, I was hoping to try their Red. I have a small roll of Tiger in Red and it just seems too pale and washed out.
