Cotton thread is made from high quality long staple cotton. We strongly recommend the use of cotton thread for garment dyeing application because of its easy dyeing performance.
Cotton is usually mercerized. This is a finishing process that makes the thread smooth and shiny and adds strength. Cotton mercerized thread is ideal for woven fabrics that require little or no stretch in the seams. Cotton is also heat-resistant, making it a better choice for quilting because of the need for pressed, consistent seams.
