Beginning a journey through the world of sewing can seem daunting, particularly when faced with the vast array of threads to select. Different materials and construction methods to diverse sizes and weights, understanding threads can be perplexing even to the most knowledgeable sewing enthusiast.
All sewing threads begin as simple yarns, created by twisting together short fibers or continuous filaments. The result of this process, known as “singling twist”, is a thread with strength and flexibility, essential characteristics for a good sewing thread.
The ply of a thread refers to the number of component strands twisted together to produce it. A two-ply thread, for example, is made from two individual strands twisted together.
