Types and specifications of sewing thread
There are many types and specifications of sewing thread, so I won't say much else. I will introduce the most commonly used polyester thread. Most of these lines are now on the market.
The common models of polyester yarn are 20s/2, 20s/3, 30s/2, 30s/3, 40s/2, 40s/3, 50s/2, 50s/3, 60s/2 and 60s/3, among which 40s/2 is the most common.
What does this polyester yarn model mean? The first half of "/"indicates the number of yarns. 20s is 20 yarns and 30s is 30 yarns. What is "number"? Count refers to the total length of yarn spun from one pound (453.6g), which is 840 yards (1 yard = 91.4cm). 16800 The total length is 20s. The total length of 33600 is 40s. It's complicated, right? In fact, we only need to know that the larger the number before s, the thinner the yarn.
What does the 2 or 3 after "/"mean? This refers to the number of strands of yarn. You can take a closer look at the sewing thread at hand. It is not a yarn, but two or three twisted yarns. The expression of two strands is /2 and the expression of three strands is /3.
20s/2？ The sewing thread is twisted by 2 strands of 20 yarns, 20s/3? This means that the sewing thread is twisted by 3 strands of 20 yarns.
Like the choice of machine needles, thin fabrics are made of thin threads, and the backing is made of thick threads. The model 40s/2 thread of household sewing thread is most commonly used, and it can also be used for sewing general fabrics. 20s/2 thread can be used for thicker materials or decorative threads on the surface.
