as you can see, EVERY person has a different reply...how can the same thread be linty on one machine and not at all on another...because it is NOT just the thread, but the machine, the speed at which you sew and even the needle that play into the LINT program.
AS for CT threads, they used to be made in the USA, not so any more. The used to be stronger, but my last batch broke a lot, even after putting it in the freezer for two days!
I guess it is like everything else these days..you have to try it for yourself and thus form your own opinions on it!
