Tex 40 is a multi-purpose thread that is strong and smooth. Sturdier than our other multi-purpose threads we recommend Tex 40 for sportswear, home decor, dolls and other products that will take some wear and tear. It can also be used for embroidery. If a coating is required for hand sewing, use beeswax.

Care Instructions:
You can care for thread that has been vegetable dyed like you would any other textile. We always recommend pH neutral detergent and storing your items in the dark when not in use, as some dyes (natural or synthetic) can fade if left in direct sunlight.
Vegetable dyes do give the thread a little different texture because a very slight amount of vegetable matter is still on and between the cotton fibers. You may notice a bit of dust accumulating on your needle where the thread goes through the eye. This is normal. We have also noticed that the dye process adds a bit of strength to the thread. And, different colors have different effects.
The darker colors where indigo and iron are used tend to do what is known as crocking. That means that if you were to rub the spool of thread against a piece of white fabric you might notice a bit of the color on the fabric. When sewing with a single strand you don’t notice the crocking, and the color doesn’t bleed into the fabric, but it might leave a slight dust on the sewing machine if a lot of sewing is done.
