Isacord Variegated brings gentle, shifting color changes to every stitch — the same trusted 40wt polyester Isacord is famous for, in multicolor blends that add depth and movement to embroidery and quilting. Each 1000m spool transitions smoothly through its color family as you sew.
Why Isacord Is the Embroiderer's Favorite
Isacord is made from 100% trilobal polyester — a continuous-filament fiber with a special three-sided shape that catches the light and gives every stitch a brilliant, silky sheen. Because the filament is continuous, there are no loose fiber ends: Isacord runs virtually lint-free, keeping your machine cleaner and your stitches crisp.

Strength You Can Count On
At nearly twice the strength of rayon embroidery thread, Isacord is engineered with just the right amount of elasticity for high-speed stitching without looping, puckering, or constant thread breaks. It sails through dense fill stitches and heavy fabrics like denim — it's even tough enough for automotive upholstery.
Colors That Last
Isacord is certified colorfast against detergent, chlorine bleach, and light. Wash it, dry it, wear it in the sun — the colors stay true. That's why it's the go-to thread for uniforms, kids' clothes, towels, and anything else that sees the inside of a washing machine on repeat.
