which is it?

I have a question,  if you rub that thread with a bunch of pressure does it lighten the color any?  That is the major complaint of the little bit of cheap stuff I bought from China.

no. but if your worried about the thread getting rubbed through use a groover.

Its not that, the thread I am talking about changes color pulling it through the holes

no noticeable change in color On the 1st time use.  but I did run it through a block of beeswax prior to use the 2nd time then pinched it in brown paper and pulled through it evens out the flatness and makes it easier to thread through the needle eye when locking it in.  I also have the black and would've noticed any color change on it cause I didn't wax it before use.

not only those you mentioned.

the major problem here is that those manufacturers only have 1mm or similar thread thicknesses. which doesn't give us, craftsman, variation on in thicknesses, regular stocks etc.
