What Is Wooly Nylon Thread?
Wooly nylon thread is unique when compared to other types of thread because it is stretchy. Whereas most cotton and polyester threads create stable seams, wooly nylon creates seams that recover after being stretched, which is a huge plus when sewing knit fabrics. Due to its stretchy nature, wooly nylon thread typically is intended to be used with stretchy fabrics. As the name suggests, wooly nylon is made from spun nylon fiber that results in a thread that is durable, soft and strong. Stretchy nylon thread such as this is usually sold on small cones and intended to be used on a serger.
