She said there was 6 ply for embroidery, and “regular” thread for machine stitching. I’ve confirmed with a few other craft supply stores that thread ply is indeed a thing (and important for historical accuracy!), and I hope something like this doesn’t happen again and drive a new crafter like myself...
