Love the product but needs more labeling

It would be helpful to have the and ply printed somewhere on the spool. I don't always remember and the colors look different online.

Great set of basic colors!

Whole lotta thread!

Great way to stock up on popular earth tones you'll use often. I find I don't use the White very much, but my wife liked it for book binding, so still handy.
I did find that it seems a bit "sturdier" than other thread I bought previously, perhaps fewer smaller threads making it up?
The .35 is a bit hard to thread a standard needle, but a bit of beeswax helps. I'll probably go with thinner next time.

I use Maine waxed poly cord on all my leather goods. This is one of the reasons I offer a lifetime guarantee on my products. Great quality and super strong.
