Suffolk's Sewing Tube contains 78 yards of waxed 100% Nylon thread dyed exclusively for Suffolk to match the satin used on our pointe shoes, two sewing needles, and a self-contained stainless cutter. The stainless cutter is built into a top that will never rust or dull for smooth cutting of strong, waxed thread time after time. The strong metal container will not likely be crushed in a dance bag.
