Customer Reviews (4.4 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Evelyn ★★★★★

I was pleasantly surprised at how smooth this thread runs through my machine—no fraying at all. The Olivine color is rich and consistent, and it holds up well with heat from pressing. Perfect for my quilting projects.

Sebastian O. ★★★★★

The color is a rich, true olivine that held up perfectly through a hot prewash—no fading at all. I’ve been using it for piecing and the 50 wt strength gives me clean seams without any breakage, even on my longarm.

Madison ★★★★★

The spun Egyptian cotton glides through my machine like butter, and the 50 wt weight holds up beautifully even after pressing seams with a hot iron. I've used it for both piecing and quilting, and the color hasn't bled a bit after washing.
