If the thread is fine (Bucks point weight) it will be cotton, if, weight wise, itâs more like Special Dentelles (tatting cotton) it will be linen. The only FFR thread I have seen is linen 60/2. Being on a plastic cone tells me that itâs a fairly modern thread, and probably intended for use on overlock/serger sewing machines.
