Firetiger pattern

I have been asked to do a firetiger wrap pattern using bright orange, yellow, chartreuse, and greens.

Looking for some thread help with that. Gudebrod does not seem to have the bright colors I am looking for and the National Tackle thread did not hold the color even after color preserver.

Maybe I did something wrong.

Thanks for the help

Maderia is a good choice. So many colors to choose from. Isacord is another good choice.

where is a good place to get the threads mentioned and do I need to treat them differently when it comes time to glue?

Thanks for the responses.

You can go on line to get Maderia thread.> I would use their number #40 weight (size).
You can buy a multi color package.
Good Wraps Bob
