Help finding linen

I am in the process of having a great, older cue refinished. The difficulty has been finding new linen that matches the original. I am aware that Atlas and Schemlke sell linen for cue wraps, but I haven’t seen exactly what I am looking for. Perhaps the colors I want are no longer produced. The exact colors (off white / light brown) can be seen in the second picture of the enclosed thread.

Are there other sources of linen that I can investigate?

Does anybody have enough of this linen they would be willing to sell?

If not willing to sell, does anybody have this linen they would be willing to install?

IMHO, this cue is special and deserves the added attention to detail. I will appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks, Greg

I believe the "off white" is due to the patina on the cue from chalk. Prather has some white/brown spec or a nice white/tan spec that would match:

Thanks

Ryan and Josh,

Thanks for responding. You have given me a new starting point.

I understand that the color in the thread may have developed over time. Patina was the reason I didn't show you pictures of my cue before the refinish. :)
