Gudebrod was a polyester based thread where many brands are nylon based. A few offer polyester and nylon threads but often the polyester is more like floss and tends to fray. UTC and UNI come to mind. The closest threads on the market right now to what Gudebrod made is Hook and Hackle's Eurothreads and Veevus. Gudebrod got their thread from somewhere. Eurothread popped up shortly after Gudebrod's demise. All I am saying is the source is still out there and somebody is using it.
