Thanks Karen! I didn't see it on their site.

Black with silver for sure, and I'll have to look at the other colors.

Thanks - Marc

There's also usually some new old stock Gudebrod available of the big @#$%& site in a couple color combinations. I recently picked up some gold/white and recall seeing a few others.

You can pretty easily make any color twist you want by twisting together 2 or 3 size A threads... or you can be adventurous and twist together 3 or 4 double 0 silk threads. If you have a power wrapper this is a pretty simple task. Tape the ends of the thread to the "fingers" on your wrapper put your hand 8 inches or so away. With the wrapper set a a medium speed you will get what you want. Clearly if you are going for a metallic twist I've found using NCP thread gives a better (less blushing) twist when wrapped on the rod.
