Color

All photos were taken in natural light. Appearance of color may vary slightly under different light, and on various computer monitors. Color can also vary depending on the thickness of thread. If you’d like to see our colors first-hand, email jennifer@mainethread.com to request a complimentary color/size card.

Black twisted thread

I was worried when my former supplier of thread discontinued selling it. Upon calling Maine Thread they sent out a sampling display of different weights and colors offered. I am very happy with the selection of thread I ordered and would recommend Maine Thread to any interested buyers. Thank you

I've been using Maine thread for about a year and I really like it. I asked for a sample of their thread sizes and they sent it right out to me. It's a pleasure doing business with them.

It beat Ritza thread.

I got the .50 inch black thread. It did better than the flat ritza tiger thread. I did a abrasion test on both and the flat thread snapped way faster than the rounded thread.
