I wrote this article, so fly dressers, can better understand what they are using to dress fly hooks. The two basic components of all fly patterns are the hook and thread, chosen to tie a pattern.

Uni thread is are mostly polyester, and does not stretch. Danville thread are mostly Nylon and do stretch.

Then there are the type of construction of the thread, different threads by the maker, can have different construction, that can make a difference in dressing the hook.
