For Our
Thread Artists

Scanfil thread is the best thread for the memories you make…whether you sew, embroider, quilt or craft.

Make-Ups are shown in yards, not meters.  Our biodegradable wooden spools and cones are intelligently designed to serve you well.

And don’t be fooled by the price – this is the mercerized, very low in lint, ultra smooth and strong thread you love.

So, the best thread, PLUS the best value.

We call it the thread that’s too good to be true…but isn’t!
