Not used it Leon - but would be v. interested to hear how good a match you find it for both colour and thickness.

I have found Fish Hawk terrrible stuff as well, as mentioned above it frays easily. I would advise giving it a miss, and you won't go far wrong with Gudebrod. Worth noting that the thinner the thread, the stronger the finished whipping, so don't think that increasing the thread size is necessarily a good thing.
