Comparisons 

If you’re simply looking for a single-strand floss, UNI Single Strand Super Floss is a fine option. This single-strand floss is also available in a range of colors, but it’s made from rayon and not pure silk, so if you’re looking for that classic appearance and traditional silk construction, it’s best to go with the 54 Dean St. Ovale Pure Silk Floss.
