Each spool holds 600 meters (660 yards) of 3-ply bonded cotton thread (actual weight ~30WT\/Tex 33) that performs well with natural fibres like cotton and linen. The included clear plastic box snaps together for neat storage, is stackable and can hang in your sewing area for easy access.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow will this thread behave on natural fabrics?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mercerizing treatment aligns fibres so the thread has similar wash shrinkage to cotton and linen, reducing the risk of post-wash puckering.

Because the thread is thicker than 40WT, it gives strong, visible seams and works well when you want texture or intentional stitch definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eQuilting and piecing: strong, consistent stitch lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHand and machine sewing: durable for seams and repairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLight embroidery: good for visible decorative stitching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I use the spools and avoid tangles or breakage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach spool features a new-generation snapping base with a locking function to keep thread tails from unwinding in storage.
