★★★★☆
Good, not great, but much better than average.
I use a lot of cotton thread for tailoring. Like: A LOT. This is decent thread. There have been odd spools that have joins in the thread a couple hundred feet into the spool, but overall, it is smooth and fairly lint-free. Fairly evenly spun and durable. Not a lot of slubs or kinks, if any at all. I am using it by hand mostly with beeswax and a small #10 needle. It is *just* thick enough that it can be hard to get trough the eye of a small needle without waxing it and cutting the leading tip at a sharp angle. It isn't a great picture, but I think you can see what is going on comparing the threads in the pic I posted. From left to right you have Coats & Clark mercerized cotton thread, then the middle is this Connecting Threads, and the right is Mettler's silk-finish mercerized cotton. This thread is much smoother, if not as tightly spun as the Coats, but not quite as thick and smooth as the Mettler. It is a little smoother than the Coats thread.
