Common questions

What is spun polyester thread used for?

It is the general-purpose sewing thread for most garments, including knitwear, shirts and home textiles, and for overlock seams.

What is the difference between 20/2 and 40/2?

40/2 is made from a finer yarn, so it is a thinner thread for light fabrics and fine stitching. 20/2 is thicker and stronger for general seams.

Can I get spun polyester in my exact shade?

Yes. We dye in-house and match to a thread sample, fabric swatch or your own shade code.
