It is also stronger, takes dye a little more readily, produces less lint, and is more resistant to mildew.

Mercerized cotton or Egyptian cotton goes through a specialized process that makes natural fibers more luminous and stronger. This thread is ideal for all sewing projects because it is strong and easy to work with.Not only is the color brighter, it also gives the cloth a better resistance to multiple washings, keeping the colors bright and unchanged over time. In addition to increasing luster and affinity to dyestuffs, the treatment increases strength, smoothness, resistance to mildew, and also reduces lint.
