I laughed when I saw that my thread was pretty much ninja’d.  
Anyways, these are 100% silk. Play somewhat rougher than kitty string. Very whippy…but the best part is the “I’m richer than you because I use silk yoyo string” feeling. It’s ridiculously expensive…something like $5(or $10, i forgot) for a spool of 100 yards. I made about 4 strings with my white silk thread and it was used up. Pretty intense.

EDIT: Since you guys were talking about metallic thread, I’ll take out my old spool of golden thread and give it another try. I remember it as breaking easily and being EXTREMELY rough. Here we go…
