Anyone know who is making variegated thread besides Fish Hawk? Can't seem to find any others.

Thanks in advance

I once gave up fishing. It was the most terrifying weekend of my life.

I think gudebrod has something similar.
I make my own. Take a light colored thread and color the first few (3) layer of thread in random spots with a felt tipped marker of your choice. It turns out really cool when wrapped.

Clemens had that in his book Does look cool and you can use many colors.

Scott,
Was looking for something like shades of red (light to dark then back again) on one spool. Same thing for blue and green.

Larry: Merrick Tackle used to carry National thread in variegated. You could look at their site. John
