Also are you sure it's npc and not ncp?
Because ncp is national tackle company and they use to make thread.
Check out http://merricktackle.com.
They carry their thread. But I think you have to call them

Merrick Tackle was bought by Mud Hole. All inventory was brought  South. Workers were given 1 Hr. notice.
I have not failed.  I just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

Actually, NCP stands for "No Color Preservative". If the spool is a bit older. I suspect it is Gudebrod. Even though it is out of production, several places such as acidrod.com still have some in stock. 468 is the color purple, "D" is the size of the thread
