Crafting Thread

Product parameters

High Tenacity, Low Elongation Trilobal Raw Yarn

JOHNSON uses only premium trilobal polyester raw yarn, engineered for high tenacity and low elongation. This unique combination offers exceptional tensile strength, allowing the Crafting Thread to withstand the high-speed tension cycles of modern multi-head embroidery machines. Low elongation means minimal stretch under load, which translates directly into enhanced productivity due to low breakages. Fewer thread breaks mean less machine downtime, reduced labor for re-threading, and higher output per shift. The trilobal cross-section also provides a larger surface area for light reflection, giving every stitch a subtle, elegant sheen that elevates the final product.

Abrasion Resistant and Robust

Embroidery thread is subjected to constant friction – through needle eyes, thread guides, tension discs, and fabric layers. JOHNSON's special heat-set finishing process creates a smooth, closed surface that resists fraying and fuzzing. This abrasion-resistant property ensures that the thread maintains its integrity even during dense, high-stitch-count designs or when sewing through heavy fabrics like denim and twill. The robustness also makes it suitable for high-speed machines running at 1,000+ stitches per minute without compromising stitch formation.

Wide Colour Range and Dye-to-Match Capabilities

With over 450 standard stock colours, including neon, pastel, metallic-effect, and variegated multicolour options, JOHNSON offers one of the most extensive colour libraries in the industry.

Trilobal Technology for Enhanced Visual Appeal

Unlike round filaments, the trilobal shape of JOHNSON Crafting Thread creates a glittering, diamond-like sparkle on the fabric surface. This makes it the preferred choice for fashion embroidery, logo digitizing, and decorative stitching where visual impact matters. The shape also improves coverage – fewer stitches are needed to fill an area compared to standard round threads, saving on design time and thread consumption.

Suitable for All Embroidery and Embellishment Styles

JOHNSON Polyester Embroidery Thread is incredibly versatile. It performs flawlessly on:

• Jeans & Denim – Withstands the abrasion of rivets and heavy washing.
• Sportswear – Resists chlorine, perspiration, and frequent machine washing.
• Children's Wear – Soft feel, no harmful chemicals, and high colour fastness.
• Workwear & Uniforms – Industrial laundering up to 75°C without fading.
• Hotel & Catering Items – Linen, napkins, tablecloths, and chef aprons – maintains white brightness and colour stability under steam pressing and detergent exposure.
