Professionally wound spools that are firm and consistent.
High-quality construction; threads made in Japan.
A wide range of 70 colors and 4 sizes.
Bright color finish that makes your stitches look brilliant.
Excellent UV resistance as well as resistance to mildew, acids and bleaches.
Maintains UV resistance over prolonged exposures; great for outdoor and frequent use items.

The Japanese company, Nagai Yoriito, have spent over 100 years developing their sewing machine threads to be used for applications in leather goods, sporting goods, industrial equipment and apparel. Their threads feature long lasting colors, composition and strength. They can be used in products as delicate as garments or as rugged enough for a Mars explorer probe.
