Cotton threads are measured by thread count number and plies. The thread count is the thickness of each strand. The ply denotes how many strands of thread are wound together to make the thread. General cotton sewing thread used in sewing machines and is usually 50/3, such as our Essential Cotton Thread, where the thread thickness is 50 and there are 3 strands of thread woven together make the plies; or 40/2 which is essentially the same size but thicker thread with less plies. Hand Quilting thread is generally 40/3 which is thicker than machine sewing thread although this can also be used for machine quilting. You can also buy extra thin specialty thread that is for your bobbin which is 60/2. The higher the first number the thinner the thread. 40 is the standard for machine embroidery.

Q: Is rayon better than polyester?

The answer is, it depends on what you are going to do with it. Rayon is bright and shiny so very nice for many machine embroidery projects. I don't believe it is as durable or strong as polyester.

Q: Do you have a list of colors included? Also, please confirm that these are rayon.

I do not have a list of colors.Yes, they are Rayon.

Q: Is this Madeira Thread or Gutermann? Is it polyneon or Rayon? How much yardage per spool?
