Imagine your fingers gliding over a perfectly smooth thread that doesn't tangle, break, or fray, rewarding you with a beautiful, lustrous result with every movement. 55 MA thread is crafted from 100% long-staple Egyptian cotton – a raw material prized worldwide for its natural softness and exceptional strength. The mercerisation process imparts a deep, silky sheen to its surface, making your finished creation radiant and shape-retentive for years to come.
Fibre singeing ensures a clean, smooth surface free from fuzz – the thread passes easily through fabric and won't knot, even during long hours of focused work. With a fineness of Nm 50/2, it's an excellent choice for bobbin lace and tatting: the thread behaves precisely, holds the pattern's design, and the resulting lace has that characteristic clean, bright appearance you expect from this craft.
The result, into which you invest hundreds of hours of your time, deserves a material that won't betray its beauty, even after dozens of washes.
55 MA thread is produced in the Czech Republic, a country with generations of textile tradition. If you'd like to learn more about the properties of cotton threads or how they are labelled, read our guides:
