cdthayer Report post Posted May 31, 2013 I came across a box of large-sized Heminway & Bartlett waxed nylon thread that is labeled as “Nylshu (Registered) Littleway Bobbins” that is “Size 7-m” & “Model-D”. I’m going to market it as a general-use craft thread for hobby customers that want a large thread for their projects, but I’m curious as to its original use. The Nylshu trademark makes me think of shoes, but I haven’t found much about the term on an internet search. Is anyone familiar with this thread? Also, the one photo shows a US dime on edge next to the strand. I’m guessing that the thread is at least as thick as the dime, so what size would it be called? Thanks.
