Wrapping a UNC-themed rod soon and oh how my eyes have grown old! -- is either Fishhawk's #37 Sky blue ncp, or even their #54 Lt. blue ncp close to the UNC Carolina blue color? (Probably will wrap with ncp d/t the light shade.) Other choice might be PacBay's light blue ncp but I don't have a spool in hand & my Gudebrod #37 supply is now extinct.
Many, many thanks! Mike Re: UNC blue thread search

check the schools official web site and search for school colors. every school has a Pantone color as their standard. Use that to match your color. some of the thread makers will list the matching Pantone color with their thread. Re: UNC blue thread search

Mike,
"Carolina Blue" is pantone 278 which equates to the following threads: Madeira 1075, RA 2301, or GS/Sulky 1029 "Tar Heels Deep Blue" is pantone 282 which equates to the following threads: Madeira 1242, RA 2609, or GS/Sulky 1197 "Tar Heels Metallic Silver" is Pantone 877 - I couldn't quickly find an exact match to this, but you can do an online search. "Tar Heels Silver" is Pantone 429 which equates to the following threads: Madeira 1040, RA 2618, or GS/Sulky 1040 'White" is pure white. Re: UNC blue thread search

Thanks very much John, very appreciated. This helps a bunch, I was originally sticking with blue and white only, but may research the silver to use as trim.
have a great day! Mike Re: UNC blue thread search

Mike,
You're welcome, glad I could help. The silver would probably go nice as a trim color in your wrap. Re: UNC blue thread search

I think it would be great if all of the rodbuilding thread suppliers would post pantone color index numbers. Pro Wrap posts some. How about Fish Hawk, Fuji, etc??

John,
I didn't know that Madeira posted Pantone color matches for their thread. Where did you find that info? Thanks Chester May your line be tight and your beverages be cold! Re: UNC blue thread search
