I've also heard folks say to stay away from Kevlar thread, the reason is that it can cut through your skin if you pull it against a finger, etc. I work construction and my hands are a bit tougher than others, but I'd still be careful with Kevlar.

I was told to use a "G" thread. I bought a spool of Orvis brand and have tied a few mice with it, but it'll still break when you pull too tight. I never had one come untied or fall apart, though.
