Gold wooly nylon serger thread

a limited survey of washington dc area stores:

jo-anns doesn't carry woolly nylon. Michael's doesn't have it. Hancock fabrics is discontinuing [and selling off remainder at 50% of their regular price which is discounted anyhow] G-street fabrics in the washington area, does have YLI woolly nylon and, I think, the full complement of YLI colors.

Not withstanding, the color choice is limited.

I want gold woolly nylon for serging the top of a purse I am making for DW. One side of the purse is woven, actually the tail of the warp from making two purple stoles for clergy. It is purple bands of various yarns and occasional gold metallic threads through with a couple 1/2 inch bands of gold. Zipper and strap are purple; therefore gold seems the obvious color to use when attaching zipper and liner to bag and finish the top edge with either a rolled edge or a 3/4 thread overlock with tight stitch. Believe me, I have been testing. Lots of practice in threading loopers too cuz the concept of tying knots to pull the new looper thread through just doesn't work so well with woolly nylon. [The other side of the purse is same fabric I used for the backs of the stoles, a purple dupioni silk which she likes well enough to have gone and bought the same for a blouse!)

I have gold/black metallic woolly nylon. looks just ok not great. I have bought and not tried gold/white.

Is there such a thing as gold/yellow/metallic gold woolly nylon?
