Gudebrod thread

I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can find a spool of Gudebrod twist, the black and green, in Size A. I checked with DONART, but they didn't have any. I have some, but I don't think there is enough on the spool to complete the job. Thanks.

Dave , Need more info than just black and green. As space dyed, varigated... pine green,dark green and so on. Pictures would help also. Sorry I read so fast I missed the "twist" in your statement. Size A 50 yard spool enough? I'll check my bins.

Dennis,

Thanks for the reply. I've never tried sending a photo on this site, but I'll give it a go at some point today. If the color is the same, I can probably make it happen with 50 yards. Foolishly, I discarded my Gudebrod catalogue a couple of years ago when I found out that they went out of business. I'll see if I can find one online for a reference to help clarify the color I need.

Thanks!

Dave Sytsma

Dennis,

I forgot to mention that the description of "black and green" is because both of the labels on the spool are missing.

Hello David.

In 2007 MudHole had "black/green" as a classic twist thread and the number was 5896, is that what you are looking for?

I just checked my stock and no-go on the 5896.

Good luck.

David,

I have a stock of Trimar in eight colors.
Green black is available.

Send me your mailing info and I will send you a one foot sample (via snail mail).

Don

<edit> It is not Gudebrod Trimar.

The thread I'm looking for is Gudebrod #521 Classic Twist size A, but frankly, I'll take any diameter because this stuff is really scarce. I looked all over @#$%& and nobody there has any. I've got a good photo of the partial spool I have, but am having trouble figuring out how to post it on this site (Okay, I'm a senior citizen of Dutch lineage, so cut me a little slack). Don Becker, you are correct. It is NOT Trimar. If I discern how to get the photo on here, it surely will be beneficial.

I may have some stashed. I can't remember if I have green/black or not. I know I have a bunch of black/white but I'm sitting at work dealing with St Patrick's day crowd so I'm distracted. I'll try to look when I get home.

Hi David,

521 = 100 yard spool
524 = 1 ounce spool
519 = 4 ounce spool

The black/green that I have may be what you are trying to find.

Sounds like the stuff, Don. The product number is right. I got the 521 number off four other spools of the twist I have; the only difference was the color number( the black/orange twist was color 221) . Is the 524 a size A, only in a bigger spool?

Hi David,

The following are only spool size designations.

521 = 100 yard spool
524 = 1 ounce spool
519 = 4 ounce spool

It is my understanding that they could be for any size or type of thread.

<edit>
The Gudebrod catalog lists 524 as being a Pro spool.
Also listed is Trimar as being in gold tone and silver tone in size C.

My green/black is listed as a metallic and is size D.

I'm still in the hunt. I just called Bingham Enterprises as Eric suggested. It was the stuff I needed, but somebody called 45 minutes ago and bought it all. Close, but no cigar.

Bill,
I'm having fun, I'm motivated, and have the time. It's a winning combination. What's not to like? Sell me that spool you have and I'll let this thread die.
