The Burke Mills VTG 80s Brt Poly Brown Embroidery Thread Cone is a high-quality polyester thread that is perfect for embroidery, decorative stitching, and machine embroidery. This solid brown thread has a Tex 135 / 135D rating and comes in a 600-gram cone. It is suitable for detailed designs, embellishing, letters, and intricate work. The thread has a more than 60 weight and may require adjusting lower tension settings for optimal use. Made in the United States, this thread is ideal for hand embroidery with a high sheen finish, making it a versatile and reliable choice for crafters and stitchers.
Burke Mills was in Valdese, NC and founded in 1948 and continued through the early 2000s (as far as I can tell). Their primary focus during their time was Automobile and Home Furnishing thread.
Embroidery is not my art but my source sold these as Embroidery thread (and certainly the colors suggest so, and some other names I acquired at the same time) .I will include my analysis here so you can just your need or use.
Marked 135/2-50-9S-9Z. he thread is really strong, and appears to be 2 Ply.
I have included a picture of the thread going through the eye of a regular needle. Even if the picture doesn't match the color of a listing you are viewing, it is still the same type thread from this lot.
