Rasant is a 50% polyester and 50% cotton thread, one of the very few on the market. Rasant is 120/40 weight thread making it very fine and strong. The construction of this thread is a polyester core with a cotton wrap. The polyester core gives the thread its strength and the cotton wrap makes the thread soft and smooth with the look and feel of a traditional cotton thread.
Rasant thread can be used for quilting, piecing, general sewing and applique but it is especially beloved by machine quilters. Rasant thread is incredibly convenient to work with as it breaks less often when using a long arm machine. Recommended needle size - 70/10 or 80/12
Rasant thread is available in 300 colours and boxed sets. The colour range is huge so we have arranged them in colour categories to help you select your threads.
