Default Gudebrod metallic thread

Anyone know where i can source some Gudebrod metallic thread size A colour copper?
I am building my first rod and i want to add copper bands to my whippings.
Any other metallic copper thread would also do.

Thanks

Munro

One thought !

I reckon you could get away with .15mm copper flydressing wire - it sure is going to be easier to source .

Best wishes

Metallic sewing thread works well, unlike regular sewing thread

Summerlands came up good in the end.
They sent me copper thread, not gudebrod but just as good.
Thanks anyway
