Big cones, and a palette you can keep in order
Not every workshop needs a hundred colours on the wall. This set has 40, from soft pinks and creams to strong greens and blues, with six neutrals from white to black.
It suits a first multi-needle machine: enough colours to say yes to most logos, without a wall of cones to manage. The thread is the same 4000 m, 40 wt polyester as the 100-colour set.
Every colour has a number
The 40 numbers are printed on the cones and listed below with their colour references.
Built for long runs
PooLin rates a 4000 m cone at over 800,000 stitches, so you stop less often to change it.
Holds up in the wash
Polyester keeps its colour wash after wash and takes both high and low temperatures.

We sell PooLin thread. The Madeira and Pantone numbers are the nearest references printed on PooLin’s own chart, and those names are trademarks of their owners. A Madeira number appears only where it matches the Madeira Polyneon range. When a shade has to be exact, stitch a sample first.
Digitizing in Motifab?
Motifab can show Madeira Polyneon numbers on your job sheet. Search them here to find the PooLin thread. If a number is not on the chart, send it to us and we will find the closest colour.

Which PooLin machines it suits
A 4000 m cone runs on all of them. The multi-needle machines take it directly; a home machine needs a thread stand behind it.
How to get the best result
- 1
Leave your regular colours threaded
Keep white, black and your most-used colours on the needles, and change only the rest between jobs.
- 2
Test the shade on the real fabric
The same thread looks different on dark and light cloth. A small sample tells you more than any chart.
- 3
Pair it with 60 wt bobbins
Our type L bobbins are made for the EOM and EOV and keep the back of the work flat.
- 4
On a home machine, use a stand
The cone is 11 cm high. A thread stand behind the machine lets the thread come off the top evenly.

What this thread makes
Logos, patches and large pieces, from PooLin’s own product photos and machine films.

Questions
Which colours are in the 40-colour set?
The 40 numbers printed on the cones are listed on this page with their colour references, from pinks and reds through blues and greens to six neutrals from white to black.
Is the thread different from the 100-colour set?
No. Both sets are 40 wt, 100% polyester on 4000 m cones. Only the number of colours changes.
Is 40 colours enough for a shop?
For a steady range of logos and names, usually yes. If customers often bring exact brand colours, the 100-colour set saves you from saying no.
How long does one cone last?
PooLin rates a 4000 m cone at more than 800,000 stitches.
Does it work on the PooLin EOM and EOV?
Yes. It suits every embroidery machine, home or multi-needle. On a home machine, use a thread stand.
How much does it cost?
We keep no public price list. Send the form on this page and we answer with our best price for your country.
