4.0 out of 5 stars Strong, but not colorfast, June 5, 2008

This thread is super strong. You can cut yourself with it if you try to break it with your hands. I even had trouble cutting it with a cheap scissors. It's great for reattaching buttons, especially on high-stress areas like pants. The fabric or button will probably fail before the thread ever does.

On the down side, it's not very colorfast. I used the thread to do some mending, and after about a month's use, the color is completely gone, revealing the native yellowish color of Kevlar. The thread is still intact and holding quite well, it's just not black anymore.

4.0 out of 5 stars Strong but not durable, March 28, 2010

Take a string and try to break it, you'll have trouble. Indeed very strong!

But I guess the fibers aren't twisted well or something, with actual outdoor use it deteriorates and eventually falls apart not quite like rotten manilla but almost.

So, I guess, don't use it for outdoor or dynamic applications.

I had figured I should post that you get 50 yards of this. It does not say in the description. Very fast shipping, good quality thread. I'm currently using this thread for the use of strengthening my foam r/c plane. For the time being it works quite well. Very strong and sturdy.
