How is oval tinsel usually sized? I’m used to going into fly shops and visually picking out what size I want, but brick and mortar fly shops are getting scarce around here. I have a couple of spools marked “size 14”, but want something slightly larger. The online suppliers I usually deal with only list “small”, “medium”, and “large” - no numbering system.

fine, small, medium & large are the only sizes I'm familiar with, but I did find this in an online catalog-

"UNI PRODUCTS have developed a top quality Oval Tinsel which is available in 4 sizes, in silver or gold.
Extra Small: 30 yards (approx. size 14)
Small: 20 yards (approx. size 15)
Medium: 7 yards (approx. size 16)
Large: 5 yards (approx size 18)"


Based on that I'd guess your #14 is my "fine"

Thanks Trev. My size 14 is actually Danville’s.
