George Smiley
Never heard of him, but he sounds like a really great guy. Anyone named Smiley is bound to be pretty cool 
In all seriousness though, George Smiley was my grandpa’s name.

George Smiley = British spy, the books are set in the 1960 / 70’s.
As for the diy, I removed a 1930’s metal window frame that sat within another wooden frame and now I’m having to clean up and shape the wooden frame to accept a new woodwork.

Have you tested them out yet?

I’ve never tried nylon!I purchased some 100D/2(standard thickness) wooly nylon thread to try some. I’m kind of interested on how people debscribe it, but nylon string are usually expensive, so I wanna see if I can get some good result doing them myself haha.

I just tried nylon for the first time a couple of weeks ago. It’s a poly/nylon blend that One Drop makes and damn I love the stuff!
I’m really interested in trying a pure nylon blend out at some point soon’ish.

I am, too. I use kitty fat, but I want to try something more slick and better for whips. Already got lots of poly threads so I’ll be trying some blend and pure nylon when it arrives in a few weeks haha.

What brand wooly is it? Just curious, I’ve tried gutterman, maxilock, and YLI. I personally have had a hard time with the YLI, but have loved the other 2. I just like how soft they feel honestly! Sooo smooth and silky! Plus my wrist appreciates the little bit of bounce they give the string.

Thank y’all! The fades are definitely awesome, but kind of a pita to make 
probably why we don’t see many of them.

Wooly is a kind of nylon thread, not a brand. I ordered it from AliExpress since I can’t find them on local shops haha.
When I did poly I used an unknown brand and Gutterman. I got good results, but it was so much time compsuming and I got something similar to kitty, so it is not profitable at all. Since nylon strings are expensive, I’ll try to make them so I can save some bucks haha.
