Just a follow-up on how this new colour was received by my customers. They loved it! It became apparent to me that having the thread not totally disappear into the blank colour might just be a good thing. If there's one thing I've learned in this biz, keep an open mind. So from my end, all is good. I have a thread that is consistent, of amazing quality, easy to work with, and produces a colour that is desirable to my customers. All good!! Still would like to see more colours though......

Just like thread that is wound onto the spool Tightly and when cut Springs all over the place

I use pro Wrap thread and there metallics are that way
But
After seeing this I found I can hold the thread and cut then ease it onto the spool -- No Springing --
One just has to have the Know How to use what one is working with

Just finished a rod with the red, looks great (with CP) on a black blank. What I noticed is that it does cut cleanly, it is a little finer than I'm used to, and the pull through was perfect every time. More slippery than others?
