So I’m trying to somewhat “copy” the look of these thread wraps does anyone have experience with doing a 2 tone thread wrap like the ones pictures above. If so what’s the best way to go about this thanks!

not that difficult. you first start the first color either wrapping over the the end of the metalic thread and the other color or two pull throughs. When you reach the point where the metalic thread goes you wrap it over the first color to capture it then you wrap the second color over the metalic and first color and continue on with the second color OR with the pull through you pull the metalic thread under the first color and pull the second color under, then wrap the metalic thread over color number one to capture it and then after the metalic is laid down, wrap the second color over the metalic and first color to capture them and continue on and with a few wraps cut the first color and metalic then put in your last pull thrus andd finish your wrap. Try it a few times, you will get the hang of it.
