I hope it works as well for you as it does for me. There is also Danville's wine, but I don't really like Danville's thread. Pete, if you send me your name and address, and I find a spool of UTC at my Sportsman's Warehouse, I can ship it to you. I have to go in later today and I'll see if they have some. It goes quickly as wine is the "new color" so often it is not in stock. I expect it is also available on the web. Joyce
