The red and white ones caught on in the 1930s through the 1950s because a colorfast red thread was created, which didn't bleed in the wash. Funny, I had clothes that bled in the 60s and 70s.

Just a bunch of Crochet threads, I liked the colours and texture made from the bindings. Just used a load of cardboard sheets to shape the light on the backdrop and product.
Ammophila procera, with what looks like a walnut caterpillar (Datana integerrima). Her burrow was nearby, and I watched her place her prey into it.
An image I took for a challenge "Inanimate Macro". I was pretty pleased with the final result, considering I don't have an actual macro lens.
The EXIF data is somewhat deceiving, as there was a reversed 50mm 1.8 in front of the mounted lens. This gives the macro ability and only provides a very shallow DOF. I might try this one again one day with focus stacking to get a better DOF.

A glass ampul containing virgin silk; an extremely fine ophthalmic suture material consisting of two to seven natural silk filaments bonded together by sericin, a natural adhesive. This ampul is dated 28-01-1964. The silk was held in the ampul to protect it from air and contaminants. To get to the silk, you had to snap of the neck of the ampul.
Postman just delivered a package with THREAD festival brochures in it. And my picture of a pincushion is featured on it! Yay!

[Threads of delicate merino wool and silk wrapped steel in vintage gold, entwined to form patterns of texture, light and transparency.
Threads interconnecting as unstructured stitches come together to create a soft metallic wrap.
Threads pulled through loops in a hazy, simplistic ritual that has soothed and calmed the mind, body and soul.

Bored in Albuquerque, NM, while on a business trip, I found this sewing kit in my hotel room...
A sewing needle is a long slender tool with a pointed tip. The first needles were made of bone or wood; modern ones are manufactured from high carbon steel wire, nickel- or gold plated for corrosion resistance. The highest quality embroidery needles are made of platinum. Traditionally, needles have been kept in needle books or needle cases which have become an object of adornment.
A needle for hand sewing has a hole, called the eye, at the non-pointed end to carry thread or cord through the fabric after the pointed end pierces it. Hand sewing needles have different names depending on their purpose.
Needle size is denoted by a number on the packet. The convention for sizing is that the length and thickness of a needle increases as the size number decreases. For example, a size 1 needle will be thicker and longer, while a size 10 will be shorter and finer.

I like these little thread winders designed to look like wooden spools. Set of 20 or so found in sewing box purchase at thrift store.

Cotton crochet thread #10 was used.
They can be used as coasters, candle doilies or under a small vase or trinket.

Modern weaving machines use thousands of cords to lift the warp threads of the cloth such that a pattern emerges. The machine this picture was taken from shoots the weft thread using solely air!

Nothing special, feeling a little blah about this outfit.
I'm taking a fabulous class which involves a lot of hand stitching and a wide variety of threads. Some people collect different threads like others collect fabric! The different displays of everyone's threads was beautiful for sure. For this shot, my camera was set at f1/8 and I focused on one spool of Perle Cotton, letting the others blend and meld together. cy365 335/365
