Types of threads for Weaving

I am sorry if this topic has already been covered. I looked through using a search and couldn't find any info on this topic. My question is to the weaving gurus and anyone else with a thought on this.

Why can't I use any manufacturers thread for a weave. As long as the sizes are similar to each other why should I be confined to use gudebrod or rice threads color selection to do a weave. If I use CP to protect the coloring I should be able to use any type of thread right?

Thanks for any thoughts,
Matt

Matt,
There are some threads that will stretch when treated with color preserver. You can use Madeira's polyneon thread or Sulky's. If you use Madeira's, buy the polyneon #40 which is a tad smaller than size A Gudebrod.
