It is treated with an innovative process to give the finished thread anti-microbial properties. The anti-microbial process creates a “zone of inhibition” that prevents the growth of odour and stain causing bacteria and pathogens around sewn seams, where microbes like to harbour, leaving seam crevices clean and fresh.

For exceptional softness and comfort, please also consider our micro-filament textured polyester thread Seamsoft. Seamsoft is the very best sewing thread for “next-to-skin” seams and is the thread of choice for quality intimate apparel and lingerie.
