Sew-all Biodegradable Cellulose Sewing Thread - 5000m - Black

Crafil Celofil® is an all-purpose universal 'sew-all' biodegradable sewing thread made from 100% Tencel™ cellulose by Lenzing. Made in Portugal by Crafil, thread specialists supplying the luxury fashion and denim industries, it is suited to most fabrics and garment construction.

Suitable for machine or hand sewing, serging and overlocking, Celofil® thread works well with almost all types of fine, medium and heavier fabrics and with natural fibres like bamboo, linen, cotton and Tencel™ where biodegradability and sustainability are needed.

Why choose biodegradable thread? Celofil® is made from 100% cellulose wood pulp rather than conventional synthetic fibres, making it plastic-free. It's a great alternative to cotton thread as it is stronger with a higher resistance to breakages when compared to any other cellulosic fibre. The thread is biodegradable and compostable, with a closed-loop production process and a very low climate change impact. It is also suitable for overdyeing, making it useful where the thread needs to be matched to a particular fabric or colour.
