Some threads behave exactly as you wish under your hands – they glide smoothly, hold their shape, and make every detail shine in your finished work. Polished cotton shoe thread designation 66, made from 100% long-staple Egyptian cotton, is one of them.
With a fineness of Nm 69/2 (14.5 Tex x2), this is a very fine thread, making it an excellent choice for very fine lace – where every millimetre of the pattern matters and coarser material simply won't suffice. The special polishing (glazing) process gives the thread an exceptionally clean surface with minimal fuzz, ensuring the resulting lace looks airy, precise, and retains its appearance for years to come.
The thread passes through your hands without resistance or snagging – allowing you to focus where it matters: on the pattern you're creating. The generous 3,500 m spool will be appreciated by anyone who knows how quickly metres are consumed when working with fine lace. You'll complete your project from a single spool, without the hassle of searching for a matching batch.
Made with care in the Czech Republic – a material that will enhance hundreds of hours of your work.
