I am having so much fun with the Throop/Colby wraps that I wanted to post some photos. Little did I know that they would be much harder to photograph than they are to wrap!
Size A Gudebrod Regular Nylon 046 and NCP light Grey with NCP 046 overwrap.
Thanks so much to Bill and Scott for sharing this wonderful technique. The photo does not do it justice but it looks like water.

Welcome to the "I cant figure out how to take the picture" club. Still I can tell it is a great pattern. That is also quite the challenge. Mixing the stripes and blotches is fun.

Man Doc, we gotta figure it out. There has to be some way for us average photographers to master this. I know it's possible because Throop and Colby have some great photos of theirs. Natural daylight helps but the weather in NW Arkansas has not been cooperating. The worst ones are the metallic variety - they seem to dazzle the camera and all you get is an amorphous blur.
I guess I should say that I am lucky so far with the patterns. All of mine are coming out pretty consistently inconsistent. Meaning, they all look very much the same - heavily figured - but no two are alike.
If I play with thread diameters on the underwrap (HT Metallic, Madeira, etc.) I do tend to get some tiger / barber pole stripes but some people like those. If they don't but they want those same colors then I just put in one extra pull out thread. Widening the gaps between the overwraps seems to revert it to a random pattern. I am but a simple caveman and THAT took a while to figure out. And if not for Jorge and all the wonderful sharing on this board, I might not have ever figured it out.
