Need to match some wrap on a couple of older rods. Looking for a two-tone black and blue that was sold in the early 80s. I see that Gudebrod has brought that line back, called the Two-Tone Classic Twist but they don't seem to have black and blue. Preferably in NCP D or C
Also looking for the really old multicolor "Variegated" (sp?) in D or E for long cane surf rods. Need to re-do some and I like the funky look! Any help appreciated. Thanks! Re: Looking for old Gudebrod thread

Gudebrod's Trimar SilverTone or GoldTone Thread is available in 6 colors (black, white, blue, green, brown, red), blended with either (silver or gold).
I believe it is only available in a "C"-size Thread (Diameter = 0.260 mm. Tensile Strength = 4.5 pounds) Summer Moon Rod Works (sponsor) may still carry these Trimar Threads, and they may still be able to provide you a complete 4-page color layout of Thread line. As for the Black / Blue part of your question, this just came up 3 weeks ago. Read this for yourself and see if it helps with what you want. Blue/Black Twist Thread? Tim Hough 11/08/05 [www.rodbuilding.org] Does anyone make a blue & black twist trimar-like thread? It does not necessarily need to be metalic like Trimar, just a two colored twist. Anyone?

Sulky make an embroidery thread in dark blue/black #50 that may go "C" size. It's the Ultra Twist 922 3048. I don't think I've seen a NCP thread in this configuration. I believe Madiera also makes a variegated thread. They both come in colors not seen in the rodbuilding catalogs. Picked up a nice honey/med. brown to try out a few days ago.

Looks like the Madeira 40wt Rayon/220yd - Scandic Melange Stock No. 9840-2202 is closest to what I am looking for. Bought some a t[www.webofthread.com] Thanks Cliff and Spencer!
Found a little bit of the old Gudebrod variegated but could use more. Looks like it goes from green to red to yellow to blue to orange. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
