Some materials just feel right in your hands – they glide effortlessly, hold intricate patterns beautifully, and reward you with a finished product that's a joy to behold. Thread 60 MA, made from 100% Egyptian cotton, is one of them.
Long-staple Egyptian cotton is prized for its natural softness and exceptional strength, qualities that synthetics can't fully replicate. The mercerisation process gives the surface a deep, silky sheen, ensuring your finished creation will gleam and retain its shape for years to come. Singeing the fibres creates a clean, smooth surface free of fuzz: the thread passes easily through fabric and won't tangle, even during long hours of focused work.
With a fineness of Nm 100/3, this thread is an excellent choice for very fine lace work. It behaves precisely, holds the pattern's detail, and results in the characteristic clean, radiant look you expect from this craft. The generous 500m spool means fewer interruptions and a smoother creative process.
The result of hundreds of hours of your time deserves a material that won't compromise its beauty.
Thread 60 MA is produced in the Czech Republic, a country with a generations-long textile tradition. To learn more about the properties of cotton threads or how they are labelled, explore our guides:
