A construction term can explain part of a thread without answering every question about the actual product. Preserve the supplier's complete reference and supporting information.
Coats' production guide discusses corespun construction alongside other thread-manufacturing approaches. Coats — Thread Production.
Separate the fields
Record construction, stated composition and size as distinct information where provided. Do not infer a precise material combination or performance from the construction word alone. Ask the technical supplier to resolve the missing fields.
Review the intended application
Keep the proposed material and seam with the thread selection. If the project is comparing alternatives, retain the reasons and actual trial evidence for each. An appealing general explanation of construction is not a finished-product test.
The next decision should be traceable to a specific proposal. This helps the team discuss alternatives accurately and prevents a convenient technical term from turning into a catch-all description that different recipients interpret differently.
