Product Description
Why does the Torah enjoin us regarding techelet? Because techelet resembles sapphire, and the Tablets were made of sapphire, to tell you that as long as Bnei Yisrael gaze upon this techelet they are reminded of what is inscribed on the Tablets and observe the commandments, therefore it is written, ‘And you shall see it [the techelet string] and remember all of the commandments of G-d and you shall do them.’ - Mishnat Rabbi Eliezer, Chap. 14

Ptil Tekhelet Tzitzit Strings
I've been using Ptil Tekhelet strings from the Murex for years, and will never use anything else.

Ptil Tekhelet
A hand full in our minyan where Ptil Tekhelet on our tallith. We're pushing the issue.

Necessary
Personally, I would have great difficulty with wearing a Tallit which did not have Ptil Tekhelet strings. It is a fundamental part of the mitsvah, in my opinion. One packet recently purchased did have a frayed white string but from experience, this is unusual.

excellent service
I tasked Ben to procure long thick Techeles to be tied according to Tosfos, with Rav Hershel Schachter’s 7 x 7 Rokiah preference and the opinion of the Baal Hoittur which Rav Schachter also suggests. The tying was perfect and the service was quick, even to Australia.

very happy! reasonable price!
Very happy with my tekhelet. Great service and product. 7 days delivery time to the uk is good but could be better. Will likely buy my next set from here again.

learned a lot
After 45 years, I was given a new Talit. I decided to get Ptil Tchelet. The tzitzit are as expected. I bought the thick, Rambam. It is not about how they look (although I like the way they look). But rather, I learned a lot during the process, picking which type of tzitzit (Rambam, Raavad, Tosafot) and how to tie them and why. It made the experience well worthwhile, one I will appreciate everytime I put on my Talit.
