Double wrap, Alternating Colors - How to?

Clemens Custom Rod Thread Art - Pattern # 54A

I have some questions regarding this wrap. I would like to make this as a double, alternating color wrap. Should I complete one complete set (1, 2, 3, 4 threads) before starting the other set - or - Should I do both wraps at the same time (1-1-2-2-3-3-4-4, then repeat)?

Thanks

Without actually looking that wrap up, I can tell you that if you want the centers to be in line you'll have to go one thread at at time. If you wrap in sets, the centers will have small offset from one side to the other due to the width of a set of threads versus the width of just one thread.

Tom,

Thanks - for clarification, i would need to do set 1 ";line 1), then set 2 "line 1", then set 1 "line 2", then set 2 "line 2", and so forth?

I'll have to get the book out and look up the pattern to make sure.
