〜 Thread and industrial materials 〜
TOSHIN is a comprehensive manufacturer of thread and industrial materials with a long tradition, founded over 60 years ago in Aikawa Town, Japan’s renowned "home of twisted yarn." With know-how in twisting yarn and reliable technology, we handle high-quality, low-cost thread. At ApparelX, we carry TOSHIN’s familiar Kin-Hidori brand silk thread. Its distinctive luster, smoothness, and strength come from the quality of the raw silk, and it is a natural filament yarn. Its strength is slightly lower than synthetic fiber yarns, but it has a high Young’s modulus, low shrinkage, and excellent sewability.
