Try Reeves 2000, Blackgates or Polly Engineering.

Blackgates used to do graphite yarn Mike – and for PTFE "packing" yarn just use PTFE plumbers tape and twist it into "strings" if you see what I mean.

Perhaps surprisingly … Putting the words 'fizzy yarn' into the Google search box on the home-page does actually find this previous thread.

It was the ability to easily find the relevant that caused my mild surprise

… Never doubted you for a moment.
