How to choose embroidery thread

First of all, we need to choose the embroidery thread that suits us. There are many kinds of embroidery thread, common ones are wool thread, cotton thread, silk thread and so on. Wool yarn is good for thin and thick threads, cotton thread is good for medium-thin threads, and silk thread is good for very thin threads. At the same time, we also need to choose the color that suits our needs. It is recommended that beginners choose threads with fewer colors, which can reduce the difficulty of threading.

Branded embroidery threads are recommended first, and the best ones are embroidery thread factories, such as Simthread Embroidery Thread Factory, whose quality is guaranteed.
