I have only tried those from Budd's.

I also have a couple from New & Lingwood that are quite nice.
I can recommend N&L. You can also purchase them online at N&L's website.
I would like to try Sam Hober at some point, but have yet to get around to it.
T&A also make excellent grenadines.
I have an excellent navy grenadine from Udeshi in London -- probably the best one that I own.

J. Press had some last spring. I'm not sure about this year.
sam hober makes great everything, he will make the tie up to your requirements and his customer service is extraordinary.

I saw some unraveled threads in my N&L grenadine tie -- after just ten or so wearings... Anyone else has similiar experience?

I have not seen a N&L grenadine tie in person, but from the photos on their website their grenadine ties looks very nice.
A real grenadine silk will have a perfect drape and knot because of the loose "gauze" type weave. So you do need to handle grenadines with care. As opposed to a good repp weave
which might take lots of wear and never show it at all.
With that said I have two grenadine ties which I wear very frequently and they do not show much wear.
I have several from a decade ago and no signs of wear after considerably more than ten wearings. They will snag if you catch them on something.
