I tried the linen from atlas, wasn't for me.
If you are looking for an alternative.
The Old fishing lines is one way of getting the feel of old school hand twisted linen.
The trick is knowing what your looking for, cuttyhunk is a good place to start.
The magic number is 9 thread and wet tested 27 lbs. the 12 thread also will work.
Most of what you will see is tan or solid cream in color. You will often see green,red.
The biggest problem is finding full spools. Some won't have any in it at all.
Finding very old, brand new ones, Is what you hope for.
When I did my own search I really wanted to find some cuttyhunk linen. The closest you can get to the cortland. It took two years of searching, but I finally found what I was looking for.
I was very lucky to find this, Brand new spool, And in black, 50 yards is enough for a wrap. This ended up on a cue. never felt a linen wrap like it. went straight to the cuemaker.
