I am getting very confused. I have been playing around with tying a few North Country Spiders. They all call for floss, but being a neophyte, I have none, so I just use thread. Thinking it would be good to do it right, I did some research on what floss is. Enter confusion. Some recipes call for floss, but the material seems to look like thread. Is this just a naming thing? Then there is the Danville floss that looks like thread in 4 strand or single. Add to that stuff like super floss that looks much bigger and doesn't even come on a spool. So what the heck is floss?
