Thats right. Spiders do produce two entirely different "types" of thread. They use the non sticky threads as spokes to move around their web while they build the proper sticky bits.
AnswerA spider has special glands that produce an oil like material that does not stick to their own web. I am guessing these are located somewhere near their feet since these are the parts that come in contact most with the web. Not really an answer, but still!Next time you see a spider web, try touching the very center of it where the spider sits. It shouldn't be sticky. Also, when the spider is in the web, try plucking the threads. The spider will come rushing to that point to fix it.

∙ 13y agoSpiders spin two kinds if thread, a sticky one and a non sticky one. When a spider spins a web they use a combination of the two and memorize where each type of web lies. Then when they move around the web they only use the non sticky threads, and therefore avoid getting stuck in their own trap.
They spin their webs from two types of threads, one set is sticky and the other one is not. They know where to step so they don't get stuck.

∙ 13y agoNot all webs are sticky. Spiders like familiar orb-weavers that do have sticky webs, mostly walk on the radii, the threads that run outward from the center, which are not sticky. Also, their legs are "groomed with an oily coating that does not stick. However, a spider may get stuck if it happens to be in the web of another kind." From The Book of the Spider," by Paul Hillyard.
