When we introduced YLI Hand Quilting Thread 24 years ago, it was the best hand quilting thread in the market. Though our new version is slightly different from the Original, it still is the best. 100% cotton. The glazed finish keeps it from tangling or knotting, makes it glide smoothly through the fabric layers, and simplifies needle threading. 500yds.

Hannah ★★★★★

I've been using this for all my hand-piecing projects, and the three-ply construction holds up beautifully without fraying. It glides smoothly through layers, making my stitching feel effortless.

Sofia ★★★★★

This black three-ply glides through fabric without tangling, and the 500-yard spool lasts through several projects. The slight twist variation from the original actually makes my stitches lay flatter and more even.

Kevin D. ★★★★★

I’ve been using this 3-ply thread for a few days now, and it glides through fabric without tangling, which is a huge relief after struggling with cheaper options. The 500-yard spool feels generous for the price, and the matte finish looks great on dark quilts.
