Confetti Cotton™ Thread is a 60wt 2-ply 100% cotton thread, made exclusively from the highest caliber extra-long staple Egyptian cotton. After double gassing and mercerization, the thread delivers extreme softness, strength, and unparalleled lustre with a beautifully clean, near lint-free finish. This lightweight thread is perfect for applique and piecing, by hand or machine, and creates remarkably flat seams and exquisitely subtle blends.
