As described above, the conventional embroidery thread is composed of a plurality of fine threads twisted together. The work of pulling out the required number of fine threads from this thread bundle is not easy for an inexperienced person, and sometimes the fine threads are entangled with each other. Entanglement is particularly likely to occur when two or more fine threads are pulled out together. In addition, the fine yarn pulled out from the yarn bundle often has a twisting habit, which has a disadvantage that it is difficult to handle when passing it through a needle hole.

An object of the present invention is to provide an embroidery thread that can easily pull out a fine thread from a thread bundle regardless of skill level and can easily handle the fine thread pulled out from the thread bundle.

The embroidery thread according to the present invention is composed of a thread bundle 1 in which a plurality of fine threads 2 are bundled, and is characterized in that the fine threads 2 are arranged in parallel without being twisted together.

At least one end of the thread bundle 1 can be bound with a band-shaped adhesive tape 5.

Both ends of the thread bundle 1 can be bound with the adhesive tape 5.

The length of each fine thread 2 can be 1 m or less.

The yarn bundle 1 can be composed of various types of fine yarns 2 having different colors.

It is possible to take a form including a label 3 wound around the thread bundle 1 bundled in a heddle shape and a mount 7 on which the thread bundle 1 is wound after the label 3 is removed.

In the embroidery thread according to the present invention, the fine threads 2 are arranged in parallel without being twisted together. Therefore, the work of pulling out the required number of fine yarns 2 from the yarn bundle 1 can be easily performed regardless of the skill level. Even when two or more fine threads 2 are pulled out together from the thread bundle 1, entanglement is less likely to occur. Further, according to the yarn bundle 1 in which the fine yarns 2 are not twisted together, the fine yarn 2 pulled out from the yarn bundle 1 is formed into a substantially straight shape having no twisting habit, and it is easy to handle when passing the fine yarn 2 through the needle hole. can do.

By binding at least one end of the yarn bundle 1 with the band-shaped adhesive tape 5, it is possible to prevent the fine yarn 2 from unintentionally unraveling from the yarn bundle 1 during storage. Further, when separating the fine thread 2 from the thread bundle 1, it is only necessary to pull it out from the adhesive tape 5, which is convenient because it is not necessary to prepare an instrument for separation.

By binding both ends of the yarn bundle 1 with the adhesive tape 5, the fine yarn 2 can be more reliably prevented from being unwound from the yarn bundle 1 and the yarn bundle 1 can be stored in an orderly manner.

When the length of each fine thread 2 is 1 m or less suitable for embroidery, the fine thread 2 separated from the thread bundle 1 can be used as it is for embroidery. That is, the user can save the trouble of cutting the fine thread 2 to an appropriate length.

When the yarn bundle 1 is composed of many kinds of fine yarns 2 having different colors, it is possible to provide consumers with many kinds of fine yarns 2 at a low cost as compared with the case where a single color yarn bundle 1 is manufactured for each color. Can be done. In the present invention, since the fine yarns 2 are arranged in parallel without being twisted together, even if the yarn bundle 1 is composed of many kinds of fine yarns 2, only the fine yarns 2 of a desired color are easily selected. Can be picked up.

Generally, the embroidery thread is put on the market in a state where the label 3 is wound around the thread bundle 1 bundled in a heddle shape. If the user removes the label 3 from the thread bundle 1 when using this embroidery thread, that is, when separating the fine thread 2 from the thread bundle 1, it is not easy to rewind the label 3 around the remaining thread bundle 1. Not annoying. Therefore, in the present invention, the mount 7 on which the yarn bundle 1 is wound after the label 3 is removed is provided. According to this, the user can wind the remaining thread bundle 1 on the mount 7 and store it in an orderly manner in a sewing box or the like until the next use.

It is a figure which shows the state which gathered together the same yarn bundle in a hem shape. It is a figure which shows the state which stretched the thread bundle of the embroidery thread which concerns on the 2nd Embodiment of this invention. It is a figure which shows the state which gathered together the same yarn bundle in a hem shape. It is a perspective view of the mount for winding the same yarn bundle. It is a figure which shows the state which wound the same thread bundle on a mount.

(First Embodiment) The first embodiment of the embroidery thread according to the present invention is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. This embroidery thread consists of one long thread bundle 1 in which six fine threads 2 are bundled. In the yarn bundle 1, the six fine yarns 2 are arranged in parallel without being twisted with each other. The thread bundle 1 is bundled in a heddle shape, and a tubular label 3 is wrapped around the two places for sale. Information such as the color number, length, and thickness (count) of the fine thread 2 is described on each label 3. In the present embodiment, all six fine threads 2 have the same color, the length L1 of each is 8 m, and the thickness is 25th.

The usage of this embroidery thread is the same as before. That is, first, the thread bundle 1 is pulled out from the heddle to an appropriate length, for example, about 1 m, and cut. Next, a required number of threads, for example, 2 to 3 fine threads 2, are pulled out from the cut thread bundle 1, and the threads are passed through the needle holes for embroidery. However, in the present embodiment, since the fine yarns 2 are arranged in parallel without being twisted with each other, the work of pulling out the fine yarns 2 from the yarn bundle 1 can be easily performed regardless of their skill level. Even when two or more fine threads are pulled out from the thread bundle 1 at once, entanglement is less likely to occur. Further, according to the yarn bundle 1 in which the fine yarns 2 are not twisted together, the fine yarn 2 pulled out from the yarn bundle 1 is formed into a substantially straight shape having no twisting habit, and it is easy to handle when passing the fine yarn 2 through the needle hole. can do.

(Second Embodiment) A second embodiment of the embroidery thread according to the present invention is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. This embroidery thread is composed of one thread bundle 1 in which a larger number of fine threads 2 are bundled than in the first embodiment, and both ends thereof are bound by a band-shaped adhesive tape 5. The colors of the fine threads 2 are not the same, and eight types of fine threads 2A to 2H having different colors are bundled by six. The length L2 of each fine thread 2A to 2H was set to 1 m, which is easy to use for embroidery. The label 3 is formed longer in the tubular axis direction than that of the first embodiment, and is wound only around the central portion of the thread bundle 1 bundled in a heddle shape. Since the other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, the same members are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.

To use this embroidery thread, first, the label 3 is separated from the thread bundle 1, the thread bundle 1 is stretched in a straight line, and the label 3 is placed on a desk or the like. Next, while holding the adhesive tape 5 at one end of the thread bundle 1 with one hand, pick one end of the fine thread 2 of a desired color with the other hand and pull it toward the other end to pull the adhesive tape. Pull out from 5. Finally, while holding the adhesive tape 5 at the other end of the thread bundle 1 with one hand, the other end of the fine thread 2 is picked up with the other hand, and this is pulled toward one end to pull the adhesive tape 5. Pull out from. With this, one fine thread 2 can be separated from the thread bundle 1. This separation operation is repeated for the required number of fine threads 2 and passed through the needle hole to start embroidery.

Of course, also in this embodiment, the fine threads 2 are arranged in parallel without being twisted with each other. Therefore, the work of pulling out the fine yarn 2 from the yarn bundle 1 can be easily performed regardless of the skill level thereof. Even when two or more fine threads are pulled out from the thread bundle 1 at once, entanglement is less likely to occur. Further, as compared with the case where the fine threads 2 are twisted together, only the fine threads 2 having a desired color can be easily picked up. Further, according to the yarn bundle 1 in which the fine yarns 2 are not twisted together, the fine yarn 2 pulled out from the yarn bundle 1 is formed into a substantially straight shape having no twisting habit, and it is easy to handle when passing the fine yarn 2 through the needle hole. can do.

In addition, in the present embodiment, both ends of the thread bundle 1 are bound by a band-shaped adhesive tape 5. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the fine yarn 2 from being unwound from the yarn bundle 1 during storage. Even after a part of the fine thread 2 is separated from the thread bundle 1, the adhesive tape 5 stays at both ends of the thread bundle 1, so that the remaining thread bundle 1 is continuously bound by the adhesive tape 5 to keep the fine thread in storage. It is possible to prevent the unraveling of 2.

By winding the used thread bundle 1 from which a part of the fine threads 2 is separated on the mount 7 shown in FIG. 5, it can be neatly stored in a sewing box or the like until the next use. The mount 7 is made of rectangular thick paper, and a groove 8 having a depth of about 10 mm is formed in the center of each short side of the mount 7. Further, in the inner part of each groove 8, a square contact member 9 formed of a flexible elastic resin into a C-shaped cross section is mounted. FIG. 6 shows a state in which the thread bundle 1 is wound around the mount 7. The square contact member 9 prevents the wound yarn bundle 1 from having a crease.

Even in the embroidery thread in which both ends of the thread bundle 1 are bound by the adhesive tape 5 as in the second embodiment, the length L2 of each fine thread 2 can be set to a length of, for example, 2 m or more. In this case, the fine thread 2 can be easily separated from the thread bundle 1 by using a weight such as a brick. Specifically, first, a part about 1 m from one end of the thread bundle 1 is extended in a straight line and placed on a desk or the like, and a weight is placed on the end of the extended part (a place about 1 m from one end of the thread bundle 1). .. Next, while pressing the adhesive tape 5 of the stretched portion of the thread bundle 1 with one hand, the fine thread 2 of a desired color is picked up by the other hand and pulled toward the weight, and then pulled out from the adhesive tape 5. Finally, the fine thread 2 is cut in front of the weight. With this, a part of one fine thread 2 can be cut off from the thread bundle 1 with an appropriate length. Since the remaining portion of the fine thread 2 from which a part has been cut off is bound by the adhesive tape 5 at the other end of the thread bundle 1, it can be continuously stored as a part of the thread bundle 1.
