ALL ABOUT THREAD

For starters we will introduce to you the material essential for making clothes. Fibres. The most common one being Cotton, found in plants. But there are other options too; wool, linen, silk and more. Cotton is classified into two groups: higher quality - SAK/Supima and Peeler cotton.  Now you know the basics, we will introduce to you the ways and processes thread is made.

1.Spun Threads

The fibres are spun, usually on a polyester core, into several yarns. Here is an example below!

2.Core Threads

The fibres are constantly twisted until tight and form a thread. They are then wrapped in either a polyester wrap or cotton wrap. The polyester wrap gives it chemical resistance however the cotton wrap gives it heat resistance.

3.Monocord Threads

These threads have been bonded together combining a mixture of twisting and some spinning. There threads are made to be flat are are one of the strongest threads there are.

In this quick blog, we have covered only three of the way to manufacture thread, but if you would like to find out more, check out this website : https://www.amefird.com/technical-tools/thread-education/thread-science/
