*Soft refers to thread that receives no further processing to change it’s general physical characteristics. It is dyed to the proper shade and degree of color fastness, wound on the proper size package, and lubricated for sewability.

**Glaced refers to a finish in which 100% cotton and some cotton wrapped core threads are treated with starches, waxes, and special chemicals under controlled heat and then brushed or polished to a high luster. The result is a glossy, hard finish that protects the thread from abrasion and enhances ply security during the sewing of hard to penetrate fabrics.
