Re: Whipping colour Mk IV, onion handle
I will no doubt be corrected if I am wrong but i think the colour may be Garnet.I have some silk thread that when varnished directly(no dope applied)produces a very good match.I have just re rung a butt ring on a James Avocet with this thread.I am not sure how much you need.It may be that I could send you the spool for you to try and you could return what you do not use.Send me PM.

Thanks for the offer but I'm still deciding whether I need to do a complete refurb and in that case going to need a fair amount, I have a few colours so will try one without sealing to see if I can get a match

I think that Pac Bay Ruby Red is the nearest to the darkish red that was often used.
