Semperfli Nano Silk

Nano Silk – World’s Strongest Thread?

J. Stockard
When we first heard of Nano Silk thread and the maker’s claims of amazing strength, we were confused. A super strong silk? Maybe spun by super silk worms born on Krypton and brought on Superman’s rocket in the 1940’s? No - turns out, this product is not silk at all but fine, stranded GSP thread from SemperFli in the U.K.
