Yeah, not cree.
All are variants.

For description purposes.

Barred Honey Dun. - I would be happy to take off your hands.
Grizzly and ginger variant
I'm OK with a dark barred ginger

I agree with Golden Badger. Although, not bad for a Greenwell's.

I've been searching for silks to substitute Pearsall's colors, too. One I've found that is a VERY close sub for 6B Sherry Spinner is Kimono Silk thread #370 Teriyaki. Take a look at it on line & see what you think. Paul You are spot on Paul. I selected that as well for the best 6B substitute. I sho...

I didn't care for the Ephemera (Dean's Street) silk at first. It is not the smoothest silk thread and yes the wood spool which look cool do not work smoothly. With that being said though, everything silk gets compared to the fine quality of Pearsall's. I love Pearsall's for tying. It is strong, smoo...

Morus silk is not Pearsall’s silk. Colors may be close (even Pearsall’s colors varied slightly), but it is not silk from a h...

Thanks Ron. Just remember though, these are still just my interpretation of the patterns based on my best guess. Maybe Lance's book will shed some light on some of these.

I'm not sure there is a real need for a blue dun. A light, medium and dark dun would cover just about anything in that range. Add to that a rusty dun, furnace and a honey dun and you would be all set. Not sure I have ever seen a true un-dyed blue dun hackle. I've seen some light or medium duns that ...
