I’m rewrapping a yellow/orange Wright & McGill blank. What color thread to use I have no idea but don’t care for the yellow original thread.
Suggestions please and thank you.

Browns usually work well on yellow blanks. Without color preserver, they take on a reddish tinge. Orange and black jasper could be interesting. You could search Lamiglas builds on the forum, Lami blanks are yellow/orange.

I agree with the brown recommendations. I finish the thread with spar varnish without color protector and they look great.
