I did a cursory check and I don’t have black. I do have some marabou, the old stuff on wood spools. Do you mean the stout version? Thanks, Dana

I have bothe the Stout and Tag & Body Flosses in a few colors and both look like they're multi-filament but are single ply. The T & BF is slightly thinner than the Stout Floss - both previously made by Pearsall,

Lagartun is the best silk floss for fly tying that is readily available. I’ve been trying get some stout floss for years.

Different shops have different prices and selection of colors.

I'm still looking for the black Floss if anyone locates a spool or two.
