That is true in England, but not in Arizona. New Mexico Utah, the eastern half of Oregon and Washinton, most of Texas, and California in the summer. Any other place with low humidity would be OK

Now my pitch, which I have not indulged in for months at least:
No reaction to humidity is one of the reasons I like PowerPro White.

(The only other usable color is the gray-green "Moss" color, which I use on darker pearls. In my opinion, it draws little attention with black freshwaters. Colors like purple make the moss color visable, so I use white most of the time.

More reasons I use it is, it is incredibly strong, it does not stretch at all, wet or dry, you do not need to use wax, it doesn't tangle much, and it is easier to untangle than silk.


People think silk is the only way to go and the public expects it too, but silk has many faults except the variety of colors. It rots, it stretches, it requires more frequent restringing, it is easy to break, it needs to be waxed, the tangles are harder to get untangled, it absorbs body oils and skin flakes, it gets dirty easily.
