@gothorella: You might want to think twice before grabbing thread from the thrift shop! 🧵 . Lots of things can affect how long the thread will last including: sun exposure, moisture, the quality of the thread, the material of the spool (plastic > wood/ foam) ,and the thread material (polyester will last longer than cotton). . If you would still like to make use of the weakened thread I would suggest using it for basting and other temporary applications. 🧵 #thread #sew #sewing #expire #expired #expiredthread #breaktest #weakthread

Is it the whole spool? I know you said it could be multiple things, but could it be the top layer only or all of it?

That’s crazy! But that’s ok, antique thread can be display items.

I have that EXACT same thread but in pink from my grandma! I keep it as a little trinket to remind me to use my pretty materials before it's to late

You don’t have to throw it away you can use it to pre stitch fabric instead of pinning the fabric together when sawing

This is new information to me! Thank you! I guess this old thread would be good left on the spool for a cute vintage shadowbox

Yes! I have gotten lucky and found a lot of antique/vintage thread that was still completely usable. Even if it doesn’t pass the break test, it can-
