Default Silly tying with floss (dental) question

to playing around tinting some dental floss to wrap as a mayfly body.



My question is simple ...why?

What traits does dental floss have that other materials lack?

If you are going to go to all the trouble to die it there must be something
very special about it ?? but what escapes my limited imagination. ( when on
considers the dozens of other 'string like' materials available in every
possible shade and tone )
