Clark's 50/4 cotton (white thread)
PREMIER THREAD CO. 0-3 ONE LB L.T MERC BLACK
B three cord mercerized thread Vat Navy Black 6,000 yards left twist Standard-Coosa-Thatcher Co
I'm not sure what all that means, I might just have the makings for a huge spiderweb come Halloween

Well the way I look at it is, if you will use even a third of this thread then you should buy it. If you use it all, awesome and you got an deal of the year. If you don't use it and keep it, then you are hoarding. Considering how long thread lasts, and you probably have years and years of sewing ahead of you....its a great deal!

I would think twice about putting it in the washing machine or even washing it by hand. Thread is wrapped so tightly on cones I don't believe it will dry properly and may mildew. Try unwrapping the first layer off the cone, it will probably solve the smell problem.

I think you are right.

What you could do is tie a small strip of cloth from your scraps around the spool, put it into a knee-hi hose and knot one end then throw into the wash. I do that with thread from estate sales and small pieces of material. Just wash on low then you can let it air dry or toss into dryer on low. I use ARM AND HAMMER to wash (with vinegar). Helps to get rid of odor.
