View full detailsMettler: thread that just works
Mettler Silk-Finish Cotton is made from 100% long-staple Egyptian cotton and mercerized. Mercerizing makes the thread stronger, cuts shrinkage and makes it heat resistant, so you can press seams with a hot iron. The result is a soft thread with a subtle, silk-like sheen.
Metrosene Plus is a 100% polyester all-purpose thread for every fabric and seam. It has just enough stretch to keep seams smooth and flexible, and a special finish so it glides through the machine without tension fiddling.
Both are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified.
