If you were to try to "match" the silk thread/color Granger Green, and the Belding Corticelli "parakeet" wasn't available, would you say the YLI #236 or the #247 would be the closest match?
this would be granger green
Silk wrapping colors

Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.
Cant help ya on the color matching but Id like to say that pic shows a beautiful wrap and finish job!!
Betty, is that yours or Gypsy's?
The green I had for the one i am building is more Pea Soup Green, but it is a cool color and looked good on the rod.
I have a bunch of YLI silk for flies, so that is what I am going through on the blanks
This is the old man's with a kind of Gold Silk and a garnet.
Joni,
That's one of Gypsy's rods. I put it there so people could see the color. Talk about incredible rod work! Wow!!
I really want to do at least one of my fiberglass blanks with that color and a Lemke reel seat!!
