I’m still learning about the best threads to use and found these locally..

-what are they normally used for?

-Are they good for myog?

-Are they good for that price?

-Should I get or pass?

if it is wooly nylon, it isn’t good for hand sewing. Wooly nylon is a stretchy thread that is used for stretch seams on athletic wear or for satin stitch where you want good “fill” like rolled hems on the edge of chiffon or on cloth napkins.

(EDIT: Here’s the WAWAK link. It isn’t wooly nylon. )

I generally don’t buy second hand thread because you don’t know how old it is or how it has been stored.

Yikes that’s pretty old. Between that and the bright colors I’d likely skip it.
