Have you ever thought about the amount of thread used throughout history? What length of inches, feet, yards, miles of thread have been used to sew all the hats, coats, shirts, blouses, dresses, vests, pants, and other garments and accouterments? After you figure that out, do we dare endeavor to count the number of stitches produces by all the sewn items from the beginning of time? When that is calculated, shall we then attempt to approximate the number of spools manufactured to accommodate all the thread?
