Excellent choice for garment over-dyeing

Feature: 100% colorfast and fade-resistant, this cotton embroidery thread cone comes in handy for large projects in schools or sewing classes.

While many manufacturers use standard 40S/2 for shirts, upgrading to 60S/3 elevates the final product. Constructed by twisting three strands of fine 60-count yarn, this thread offers a rounder cross-section and smoother surface. The result is a neat, refined stitch that sits beautifully on the fabric surface, making it the ultimate choice for luxury cotton garments.

Why choose 60S/3 when it has a similar thickness to the common 40S/2?

• Superior Roundness: The 3-ply construction creates a circular profile (unlike the flatter 2-ply). This makes top-stitching look cleaner, sharper, and more professional.
• Higher Strength: Three strands distribute tension better than two. 60S/3 offers higher breaking strength, reducing breakage rates on high-speed automatic sewing machines.
• Reduced Friction: The smoother surface reduces friction at the needle eye, preventing skip stitches on tightly woven fabrics.
• Luxury Appearance: When Mercerized, 60S/3 reflects light more evenly, providing a subtle, silk-like sheen that matches high-quality shirtings.

Applications

• 60S/3 is the "Secret Weapon" for brands positioning themselves in the mid-to-high-end market:
• Business Shirts & Blouses: The standard for high-thread-count dress shirts where the seam appearance must be flawless.
• Mercerized Cotton Polos: Matches the gloss and texture of double-mercerized polo shirt fabrics.
• High-End Knitwear: Provides excellent loop formation and elasticity for premium cotton knits.
• Intimate Apparel: The smooth surface is gentle against the skin, ideal for cotton underwear and lingerie.
• Embroidery & Decorative Stitching: Its round structure makes it excellent for delicate matte embroidery details.
