A variation on A&E’s D-CORE® premium core spun sewing thread manufactured with continuous filament polyester core and cotton staple wrap dyed with Indigo dyes.

The Indigo dyes tend to wash down similar to the body fabric, allowing the thread to blend with the finished garment.

Advantages
- Excellent sewability on manual and automatic multi-directional sewing machines.
- Good seam strength and abrasion resistance
- Can provide a wash- down appearance. Since finishing techniques differ we encourage those interested to obtain samples and test for intended results. Vardhman does not guarantee consistent wash down effects using D-Core® Indigo.
- There is natural variation in the shading of the thread prior to sewing and laundering
