Is thread in this kit cotton?

Good question! I bought this and overall I enjoy it. The thread is not great quality. It does tend to snag on some fabrics. I am not sure the makeup of the thread, but for the price - you would not expect top quality cotton. It is a fine started pack and once you are done with those spools, you can replace with cotton of your choice. It is a handy storage system.

Hello - I generally buy a cotton/poly blend - it is durable and quite easily found. Coates & Clarke is a vey well known brand. It would also help if you knew what kind of projects she might be undertaking...the weight of the thread varies with the task. I just googled "Brand names for sewing Threads"and there were a variety of experts writing on the subject if you want to take the exploration further...Good luck!

No, I don't think they're 100% cotton. The outside is soft, but the inner part is water-resistant PVC.

The weight or "tex" of this thread is 30. It is strong enough for everyday sewing, but it is best suited for lighter fabrics.

These are excellent thread and will fit most modern machines. They are cotton so there is an increase of lint and "fuzz" in your bobbin case so you will need to keep the bobbin case wiped out depending on the amount of sewing you do. I would recommend at lease very project or so. along with the bobbin case, you machine will need to be cleaned out professionally every year because of the lint.

Just thread.. Thought it was elastic thread. But it is NOT! Very misleading

Probably yes. The string is a bit thick, so it might form some crystals within the threads.

Yes.I only use 100% cotton,because I have found that any man-made product,such as polyester,etc.,cause the fabric to "pill"which becomes rough and irritating,after repeated washing and using a dryer.(I have found that Indian,Turkish,and Egyptian cotton products are superior to those marked MADE IN CHINA.There are some tricks that using cotton thread spun in a different way,or splitting the cotton fiber,can make you believe that you are getting a good deal,but I suggest that everyone update themselves in how the cotton fiber is spun,woven,and actually what the 'THREADS PER SQUARE INCH,"REALLY MEANS TO YOUR COMFORT.THESE SHEETS WERE A GOOD DEAL,AND ARE LIKE SATEEN..VERY NICE.

The one I bought was metal. I know this because I needed to sand off a tiny amount from the length of the thread and remember it being metal. Purchased in 2012.

It is 100% cotton but doesn't state what the thread count is. It seems quite thin, can definitely see light through it.

This thread is for sewing machine or hand sewing. It is not for embroidery. I have this and it works good for me.

Fairly sure it's cotton, definitely cloth not plastic. Slightly quilted too.

Mine seems to be a tight weave of durable nylon thread. It's lightweight with durable zippers and strong, well-padded shoulder straps.

The whole set is made of microfiber which doesn't really have a thread count. However, if you were to compare it to a cotton sheet, I say it compares to a 300 thread count one. The set is on the thin side but a good buy for the money.

I think so as I think it is purely cotton. I had planned on using bleach when it needs it.

I have used the thread in my bobbin. It works great. It's thicker than some of the other thread (Aurifil) I use for quilting which I like. It really is just a matter of preference. I like the colors within the box. Hope this helps.

Yes. It has cotton in it but I haven't had trouble with it bunching up after washing like some comforters I have purchased in the past.
