Secrets of Thread Selection Trouble threading your needle?

KO thread from Japan
It has a very hard finish which prevents it from fraying, so there's no need to wax it. You can use Thread Heaven® if you want to make it more slippery.
KO Thread will NOT accept color from marking pens.
Carol Perrenoud worked with the Japanese supplier and suggested the colors, based on best selling colors in Nymo.
I (Virginia Blakelock) have used this thread myself, and can vouch for its excellent fray resistance.
