I am getting set to build a Lamiglas 7'0" 3wt 2pc Honey Yellow in color.
I still need to order the guides, but the threads, reel seat and finally the cork rings are here. I am having some trouble deciding on thread color though.
I'd appreciate some input on the following options, though the pics may not show the color too well…
Olive on the left. Blue Dun on the right.
Olive & White Jasper on the left (size D I think as its thicker than the others). Olive on the right.
Orange & Black Jasper on the left. Olive and Blue Dun alternating thread on the right.
Garnet on the left. Orange & Black Jasper on the right.
Here are some pics of the reel seat and cork stack too:
Thanks for any feedback.

Darrin Terry. That olive/blue dun alternating thread, is that on
the same spool or are you doing a two thread wrap? I did two rods last winter with two thread wraps and loved the results. I used NCP thread to be able to
really hide the tag ends.
