I ordered a cone of it. it's a great value. Poly is poly no matter who makes it and there are three types of poly: Spun, Filament, and Trilobal. I'm pretty sure the Pro thread is spun because of the matte finish. Superior's Poly Quilter is spun poly. I have been a big fan of Connecting Threads for years. They are steadily becoming a focal point in the quilting world. I've noticed the CT has started sponsoring a few well known quilters. Sponsoring is a sure fire way to get endorcement.
