I like the options of more colors but am disappointed in their Silver & Gold not as rich colors.
It is easier to work with lays flatter and the over wraps seen to flow on easier. As far as flaking I have never had a problem with the HT threads, as I do not run a tension device just my fingers because it gives me more control.

Mike - can you list the colors by name? (I'm a ball breaker, sorry.) It looks like a few shades of Purple, Red, Green, & Blue.

Mike - any word on those colors. Is asking how much out of line here? I know Some On-Line don't like commercial stuff, so I hope I'm not out of line.

I'd like to see how it compares to Madiera.
