That badger cape was actually a cheap Indian one, about £3.00 ( $4 - $5)
Glad you all liked it.

I Googled Guttermann and did not see that thread. Is it the correct number?

Just have to know where to look
This is sold in North America as Sulky--a mylar "thread" used in automatic embroidery machines. Incredibly strong for such a fine gauge mylar, it makes great ribbing in nymphs and the like.
I found Silver:
But the 8021 code references "clear," which this looks to be.
We will have to wait for a comeback I guess.
