DescriptionSpool of white thread.jpg
A spool of white all purpose thread for sewing. The spool is approximately 3cm in diameter and 3cm high, and contains 123m (135 yards) of thread which is about 0.2mm thick. The thread is a 2-ply construction with right-handed Z-twist, with each ply composed of 37% mercerized cotton wrapped around a 63% polyester monofilament core. Viewing in closeup shows the right-handed Z-twist as well as the tiny individual staples making up the cotton wrapping.
