    So, I’m curious what was the answer.

    Orvis was a “private label” customer of Gudebrod and it is possible that they are still making thread for Orvis but I’m not positive. The only difference between the Orvis branded thread and regular Gudebrod was the labeling and the color selection. It is still not “commonly” known who is making Orvis thread but they recently changed their packaging and are now selling thread only as individual wrapped products.

    Despite my previous alliances, I have to agree w/ Neal: I will buy Uni when given the chance for the patterns I regularly tie. That being said, my typical patterns will likely vary from those of others. For me, Uni is readily available and fits a need. I tie for results and speed, not creativity.

    Gudebrod no longer provides Orvis thread.
