Does anyone know a source for Variegated threads that have color changes in a frequency suitable for a fly rod ? All the ones I’ve seen would be ok for a heavier rod but not a lighter blank.

These are the closest to the classic two-tone variegated threads:

*Thank you* to all who replied with suggestions / offers. I've decided to try replicating the "ringed" look when rewrapping an old Horrocks, by using a light color thread to start and then darken appropriate lengths with India ink. I think I'll be able to adjust thread color lengths of "color ring" sizes this way as needed on the various diameter sections on the rod. Hope this makes sense. The newer variegated threads I've seen have color sections that are too long for doing this properly. Thanks again.
