[K2] Paranoid question

IZ2NYY
    I made a disaster in cutting wires for windings of T4 binocular core. I now have not enough white wire for the work. The paranoid question is....are the green and the white wires supplied with K2 kit the same??? Cause i have enough green wire for the 3 windings should be white and anough white wire for the windings should be green!
 
Tnx as usual

Pippo,

Yes, you can use the green wire or any other wire of a similar size.  
The reason 2 colors are used is to have visual recognition for the
primary and secondary windings.  If you use the same green wire, I
suggest that you apply some paint or a permanent marker stripe to the
wire so you can tell the difference between the two windings.
