PROCESSING i.e. whether it is single or how it has been winded or some
special lubrication is done, etc.
•
PACKAGING SIZE i.e. in which thing it has been rolled depending upon
the end use, i.e. cop, or spool or cone, etc. and what is the diameter of
the material, as diameter increase, cost also increases as longer length
of thread is required.

COTTON-Features
&+,1/-
•
Made from cotton $bers. Soft in hand feel, eco friendly
•
Have excellent sewability because $bers are not seriously a4ected by the heat
generated by needles during sewing.
•
Cotton threads are not highly durable and have a tendency to shrink when apparel
is washed.
•
Mercerized cotton threads sew well and have lustures appearance but shrink
slightly when wetted.
•
Easily adjusts to changes in the fabric (such as shrinkage) since it is a natural $ber
•
Easy care
