Thread thickness comparison: 20/3>20/2>40/3>40/2=60/3>60/2.The thread strength comparison is similar to the thread thickness! Generally speaking: 60/2 thread is mostly used for thin fabrics, such as summer silk, georgette, etc.; 60/3 and 40/2 threads are basically universal , also is the most common sewing thread, general fabrics can be used, such as cotton, linen, polyester, viscose and other common fabrics; 40/3 thread is used for thicker fabrics, such as woolen fabrics; 20/2 and 20/3 threads can be called a thread for denim, which are thicker and stronger.
