Ltd .
Always seeking new products to offer its customers , the latest from the company , is 600 single viscose untwisted yarn for embroidery in home furnishing . The yarn has very good lustre and gives a rich look to the embroidery . The yarn is very difficult to dye , but the company has mastered the art and the final product drew much attention at the GTE in January . “ The thread , being thicker yet so sleek in its finish , makes it very appropriate for embroidery on cushions and other home products ,” avered Ankit .
Doing only 20 % business in the domestic market , and the majority 80 % with exporters , Neelam Thread is well aware of international norms and its threads meet not only all quality parameters , but also are eco-friendly .

The company is very upbeat of the new unit , which has all provisions for sustainable manufacturing , including the dyeing process . Latest machines are being installed and no compromise is being made to ensure best quality and excellent finish in line with the reputation that the company has already earned in the market as India ’ s largest selling embroidery thread brand .
