In the world of textile manufacturing, sewing threads might seem like minor components, but they play a pivotal role in both the functionality and aesthetics of the final product. As Sky Swallow, a leading manufacturer of tactical, outdoor, and motorcycle textile clothing, we understand the importance of choosing the right thread for the right application. Here, we delve into the various types of sewing threads and how they contribute to the quality and durability of our products.
Understanding the Types of Sewing Threads
1. Natural Fiber Threads
Cotton Threads
Made from cotton fibers, these threads are known for their high strength and heat resistance, ideal for high-speed sewing and durable press garments. They come in various finishes like soft, mercerized, and waxed, but tend to lack elasticity and abrasion resistance.
Silk Threads
Crafted from natural silk, these threads boast excellent luster and surpass cotton in strength, elasticity, and wear resistance. They're perfect for sewing silk garments, high-grade woolens, furs, and leathers.
2. Synthetic Fiber Threads
Polyester Threads
These are highly popular due to their strength, elasticity, abrasion resistance, and low shrinkage. They're versatile, suitable for various garments including denim, sportswear, leather products, wool, and military uniforms.
Nylon Threads
Known for their smoothness and elasticity, nylon threads are highly durable and colorfast. They are great for synthetic fabrics, woolens, leathers, and stretchy garments, though their stiffness and low heat resistance can be limiting for some applications.
3. Blended Fiber Threads
Poly-Cotton Threads
Combining the benefits of polyester and cotton, these threads offer high strength, wear and heat resistance, and low shrinkage. They're excellent for high-speed sewing of cotton and poly-cotton garments.
Core-Spun Threads
Featuring a filament core wrapped with natural fibers, these threads have strength from the core and wear/heat resistance from the outer fibers, ideal for durable, high-speed sewing.
Sky Swallow's Approach to Thread Selection
At Sky Swallow, we carefully select threads based on the specific needs of each garment. Our dual quality control system ensures that the threads not only meet the functional requirements but also enhance the aesthetic appeal of our products.

Thread Brands and Specifications
Renowned brands like A&E, Liuqing, Dunhuang, Huameirui, and Huimeispeak provide an array of high-quality threads that we consider in our manufacturing process. Specifications such as 202 (20S/2), 203, 402, 403, 602, 603, indicate the thread size and ply, which we select based on the fabric type and the desired strength and finish of the product.
Conclusion

Our commitment to excellence extends to every aspect of our production, including the meticulous selection of sewing threads.
