ScottP...do you get a "greying effect" when the body is wet due to the black thread underbody?
If so, I bet other thread colors would be interesting to see.

Yes. Fewer CH fibers in the body would allow more bleed through; more would allow less.

If so, I bet other thread colors would be interesting to see.

Probably worth experimenting with.
