THis is what I used for the OL-8 wheels. The "stretchy stuff" also works well and due to it bigger diameter, visually fills the spoke area more. I couldn't find any surgical thread locally like John O used so I went with what I could find. I don't think that regular thread is a good choice if you live in an area that has big swings in humidity.

Kevlar thread works well as does fishing monofilament. I made a wheel with mono, hit it a bit with a heat gun. The mono shrank and pulled the spokes tight.
