I tried viewing the 3 most likely usenet fishing groups but only dyslexic carp on them. Bought a reel of white , very flexible and very strong for its diameter, thread from an angling shop. No label on it or the shop display so do not know what it is for or the material. It will break into twisted fibres. Probably for tying bait to lures or something like thatNot tried controlled heating of it but seems relatively high temperature, has a fluourinated/ptfe feel to it. As in oddments section of the shop, it may be sort of irregular stock from some other industry, that some local improvising fisherman found useful.
OT: fishing/angling shop item

it would seem to be called "ghost cocoon" rather figuratively as like a silk cocoon, now to find what it is made of.
silk
Whatever it is retains elasticity and integrity after being taken to 220 degree C and melts to a liquid at somewhere less than 370 degree C
