This is a pre-bleached thread that you can enjoy hand-dyeing. The thread is made by twisting together four 20-count threads and then mercerizing them, then refining, and re-bleaching them. Mercerizing increases the strength of the thread. In addition, refining and pre-bleaching removes impurities such as oils contained in the thread, making it easier to dye in vibrant colors.
