Quick take
Dark olive cotton fly-tying thread in 12/0 size for constructing flies, with high strength and the ability to split for dubbing.
Veevus 12/0 in Dark Olive is a fine single-strand fly-tying thread for small flies such as dry flies and nymphs on size 16 and smaller hooks. It is unwaxed and splits easily, so it works for dubbing loops as well as general wraps. The low bulk keeps heads and bodies slim on delicate patterns.

Skip if
