Been a while since I was on flickr!
This is the best photo I could get with the equipment at hand (a microscope and a point-and-shoot digital camera) but I think you get the idea. This is the silver-plated nylon conductive thread.
It's not actually gold, the lights just make it look that way.
Lots of thread, some of it on lovely old fashioned wooden spools. So much nicer than plastic reels. rubykittyruby.weebly.com
Here is the front of the Spears loom, with the warped threads hanging loose. I'm getting ready to wind it on the rollers, but I need to read a bit more about how to do that. Setting up weaving is a very tedious process. I imagine that the actual weaving will be more fun.
Vintage domestic sewing machine, thread bobbins including some from J & P Coats, and other sewing paraphernalia in the Qualicum Powerhouse Museum, Canada.
Making thread on a 30 gramme bottom-weighted drop spindle, from natural Corriedale wool roving.
This photo eventually used to illustrate another project for which I had no photos.
But you can totally hand-spin your sewing thread!
Juliette embellished this suit with two designs from Urban Threads, chopped up and arranged in software to embellish the entire front of the jacket. Love the curviness of the designs, the cut, and the piecing!
In honor of Thread the Needle Day, why not make this sweet little spool to help thread your sewing needle?

A small, slender thread-waisted wasp, Ammophila sp. on flowers. JE Canyon Ranch, Las Animas County, Colorado. September 10, 2019.
I used to love coming down here for a look around. It was tangled, untroubled quiet and peaceful. It seemed time had stood still. Then inexplicably the tidy squad moved in and spoiled the restfulness, cut down the ivy, laid out the stones, bared the timeless tangles and it no longer held the mystery or even was the wildlife haven but when i venture a glance what is this? A plait of ivy stretching from tree to tree, as odd as the sticks laid across the bare earth? and the bones?

FO - Deckchen by Heinrich Bauer Verlag Design Team from Lavori artistici a calza 11 in J&P Coats Royale Extra Fine Crochet Thread #30. - A thing of beauty that leaves me without words!
At his thread ceremony. head shaved, the ceremonial rice grains thrown at him were hurting him a little... He was really happy, though.
Sometimes, when I see how everything constantly evolves, maybe there is no need for all these elaborate ceremonies. The purpose is not clear. These occasions were meant for something very practical. I was arguing with another one of my cousins, the very superfluity of such ceremonies, and why we don't need them in such magnitude in today's given scenario. But he proved me wrong. It was all necessary...
We are a capitalist society, and its prime aspect is the consumer. or SPENDING.
After all, we all are responsible citizens of the country. We must spend to keep our economy alive. This whole thing is fairly simple...
Spend, so that others may survive...
I've got surprisingly good finish @85 rpm and 0.005" deep cut. Hard to say, what exactly helped: very solid and thick boring bar, intensive cleanup (every two passes), intensive lubrication (it works better with internal threads), or all these factors.
But on the next photo you can see the thread surface in high magnification, and it looks good.
Another great sign for me is to get it without any signs of visible burr.
