New Pima cotton thread
 

Anybody tried the new Pima cotton thread 50 wt from Craftsy? Supposed to be No Lint. I got an email about it this morning-big sale.

I got the same email. It looks nice. Are the prices good? I haven't bought much thread in awhile so I wasn't sure. I like the idea of no lint.

I'd have to compare the yardage to see if it is comparable to Aurifil. I prefer a thin thread like that. What concerns me is that the description says they singe the thread so there is no lint. I'm wondering if that would make it brittle.

Funny, I tried to post the link here yesterday after receiving an email from Craftsy but I couldn’t get the link to cut and paste properly.

The colors are beautiful and I plan to order a couple of spools to try. I’ve already taken inventory of a few colors missing from my modest thread collection.

I plan on ordering a couple spools of thread also. What can it hurt to have extra thread??

Your post brought a chuckle. That’s my rationale for everything...if I truly want it!

I received a kit yesterday and they sent along a free sample of their black Pima . I ordered some black Aurifil as well. Side by side they look very similar on the spool although strand wise the Pima actually looks smoother. My good machine is in the shop so I won't be able to try it right away but it looks to at least be better quality than the Connecting Threads stuff ( which I didn't like much).

I ordered a spool of white, black, and brown and since I have Craftsy unlimited I get free shipping on every thing! I forgot about that. I'll post when I try it.

I just received a spool of Craftsy thread in Parchment that matched closely the Aurifil I ordered. I guess they really want people to try it if they are giving away the spools. This isn't a sample but a full spool. I'm piecing today anyway so maybe I'll give it a try. Will report back.

Oooh , I'll be waiting to hear what you think.
