Each spool holds 600 meters (660 yards) of three-ply bonded cotton that performs well with cotton and linen, because its wash shrinkage matches natural fabrics and helps minimize puckering. The set comes in a clear plastic box designed to stack and hang, and each spool features a snapping locking base to keep thread tails secure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this cotton thread perform on quilting and piecing projects?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three-ply mercerised yarn provides reliable strength and a consistent finish for piecing and quilting.
