The range of single yarn count for sewing thread is generally 9-80 English threads, and the number of strands is mostly 3. There are also types of 2, 4, and 6 or more strands, with up to 12 strands. Sewing thread with more than 6 strands is generally used in the leather, sail, and shoe industries.
There are many forms of winding sewing thread, and in the era of manual sewing, the main ones were twisted cotton thread and silk thread.
