Yes — #69 is the largest bonded nylon size that still runs well on home machines. Anything heavier needs an industrial machine.

Upholstery, drapery, denim, leather, vinyl, luggage, purses, wallets, shoes, awnings, tents, car mats, and hair weaving - anywhere thread takes real abuse.

That's its strength. It resists UV, abrasion, chemicals, and mildew, so it doesn't rot or fade the way ordinary thread does.

Commercial size 69 (210D/3), government size E, Tex T-70. The cone weighs 4 oz.

1,500 meters — 1,650 yards.

The nylon filaments are coated and fused together, which keeps the plies from separating and helps the thread run smoothly through heavy material.
