Usually it is called "spider silk." Some species of Spiders can produce six different kinds of silk. The filaments that come from their spinnerets are a little like the silk fibers that silkworms use to make their cocoons.

It is o.k. to speak of "a thread of spider silk," especially since some spiders produce sheet webs that just looking at one from a distance won't tell you that they were formed out of individual lengths of spider silk.
