Anyone have a YLI number for an alternative to the old Gossamer 6b silk? Just wondering.

Thanks for the info but I was going to order several YLI silks and would like to add the 6b alternate to that order.

Hi Bob,
I don't think you'll find an acceptable 6b sub in YLI thread.

Unfortunately, the YLI does not have a close substitute for the 6B. If you want to stick with the YLI, I would go with a lighter shade of orange and put some dark cobbler's wax on it. Close enough.
