Thread V-69 Polyester Black UV 16oz is a smooth, bonded polyester thread that is perfect for sail and canvas work. Bonded Dabond polyester thread has high strength and stretch control, stability in sunlight (UVR), and resistance to needle heat, abrasion, salt-water and mildew. This polyester thread very seldom frays at the needle eye, and the consistent bonded finish minimizes the need for continual machine tension adjustments. Perfect for use on sails, tents, boat covers, awnings, outdoor canvas covers, and tarps.
Use this V-69 thread with a #16 or #18 needle on 3–6 oz. fabrics (including all Sunbrella fabrics). We recommend a #20 needle when sewing with the Sailrite Ultrafeed sewing machine.

5,600 yards per spoolSailmaker's thread should pull up off the top of the cone for a smoother feed to the sewing machine and to add an extra twist in the thread. The extra twist increases thread strength, helps keep the thread from unlaying, and eases tension problems.
*16 oz. cones often vary in weight between 12–24 oz. Actual weight will be stamped on bottom of cone. Sailrite will refund or bill additionally to allow for this weight variation.
