That is an interesting concept.
I wonder if it was done with black silk (or even the original Pearsalls purple) with a largish starling hackle would it be a great ant match?

Izaak, Howdy;

As stated by Philip, interesting concept...

Philip, then one wouldn't be able to refer to it as
Ginger Spice. Maybe peppercorn ?????
