Classification breakdown:
1 person silk thread
Rayon thread, commonly used in embroidery, also known as rayon and rayon, is the result of modern scientific progress, and its feel and luster are comparable to silk. Rayon is processed from plant fibers through various processes, and it is easy to be affected by moisture, and its strength will obviously decrease after being affected with moisture. It can be dyed as long as it is dyed at low temperature, and the dyeing cost is low and easy to control. Rayon is more expensive, with good hand feeling, good gloss, good coloring, bright color, suitable for fine embroidery. Common silk thread specifications: 250D/2, 150D/3, 150D/2, 120D/2, etc.
2 pure cotton threads
It is also called cotton thread, which is made of combed cotton yarn. It has high strength, uniform dryness, bright color, complete color spectrum, good gloss, light fastness, washability, and lint-free. It is embroidered on cotton, linen, and artificial fiber fabrics. Beautiful and elegant, wide application. Can be used for upper and lower threads in embroidery. Common cotton thread specifications: 30S/2, 40S/2, 60S/2.
3 rayon
Artificial cotton, also known as mercerized cotton, is made of a blend of polyester and cotton, with brightness and luster. Good tensile strength. Can be used for upper and lower threads in embroidery. Commonly used artificial cotton thread specifications: 30S/2, 40S/2, 60S/2
4 polyester filaments
Also known as polyester silk, it is processed from polyester chemical fiber filament. It has good gloss, high strength, washable and light-resistant, and is a commonly used thread for embroidery. High temperature coloring is required. Common specifications of polyester yarn: 150D/3, 150D/2.
5 gold and silver wire
It is also called metal wire, but the outer layer of the wire is covered with a layer of metal film, and the inner layer is actually composed of rayon or polyester yarn. Due to the surface luster of the thread, the designer can create a sparkling embroidery effect; but, at the same time, it also brings negative effects to the embroidery. Because during embroidery, the embroidery needle, embroidery thread and cloth often rub against each other to generate heat. At this time, the young hair of the embroidery thread will play a role, and the heat will be taken away by the embroidery needle, while the surface of the metal wire has no young hair. , the heat of the embroidery needle still exists, so that the metal film is dissolved by the heat, and even the thread is broken.
6 Sewing thread: also known as PP thread. Commonly used in household sewing and garment factories, it has good strength and rich colors. Can also be used for embroidery.
7 milk shreds
Milk silk is an uncommonly used embroidery thread. It is composed of chemical fiber filaments without hardness, soft to the touch and fluffy in texture.
