Thick strong yarn | thickness 8x3 | 200 meters | black

This high-quality yarn is specially designed for applications that require a strong and durable thread. Made from 100% polyester in a deep black colour, this yarn offers excellent tensile strength, making it perfect for heavy-duty work such as upholstery, bags, industrial applications or other crafts where strength is essential.

Key Features:

• Thickness: 8x3 – This means that the yarn consists of three twisted threads, each with a thickness of 8 according to the Nm standard (Number Metric). This system is used to determine the thickness of the yarn: the lower the number, the thicker the yarn. When measured with a caliper, the thickness of the yarn is 0.8 mm , which makes it suitable for heavy use.

• Material: 100% Polyester – Polyester is known for its durability, abrasion resistance, and high resistance to shrinking and fading, making it an excellent choice for both indoor and outdoor applications.

• Length: 200 meters per spool – With a generous 200 meters per spool, you can work for long periods of time without having to change thread frequently.

• Color: Black – A versatile color suitable for a variety of projects, from functional to decorative.

Explanation of the gauge: The yarn is indicated as 8x3 . The "8" refers to the Nm value, which means that 1000 meters of yarn has a weight equal to 8 units (the lower the Nm value, the thicker the yarn). The "3" represents the number of strands that are braided together to create this sturdy yarn. When measured with a caliper, the actual gauge of the yarn is determined to be 0.8 mm . This gives a clear picture of the physical thickness of the yarn, which helps you choose the right thread for your project.

Applications: This thread is ideal for demanding projects where both durability and aesthetics are important, such as furniture upholstery, heavy-duty garment repairs, leatherworking, and more. It offers an excellent balance of thickness and flexibility, making it easy to work with a sewing machine or by hand.
