FAQ
What does 40/2 mean?
40 is the thickness of each yarn and 2 is the number of plies twisted together. 40/2 is a medium all-purpose weight that works for most fabrics, from cotton and linen to denim and knits.
Can I use a cone on a home sewing machine?
Yes. Place the cone on a separate thread stand behind the machine so the thread feeds smoothly.
What needle should I use?
A size 80/12 or 90/14 universal needle works well with 40/2 thread.
