Hi Ed,
Try a medical supply house. Silk suture thread is pretty good stuff, and
comes in different weights, one of which will be just what you're looking
for. I carry a spool of #1 for general purpose super strong thread
purposes, including the odd flange and wippen cord. Schaff sells #932 silk
cord too.
