It depends on the type of thread you are using and the gauge of your canvas and the stitch. Obviously the thread must pass easily through the canvas but have sufficient bulk to cover the canvas without it showing through (or grinning). Grinning is more of a problem with white canvas than with antique (brown) or a colour printed canvas.
For a typical mono canvas of 10-12 gauge when using tent stitch use one thread of tapestry wool or 3 threads of crewel wool. If using Persian yarn split it into 3 strands and use 2 at a time.
For 14 or 16 gauge canvas use 2 strands of crewel wool or 1 strand of split Persian yarn. For 18 gauge or smaller use just 1 strand of crewel wool or split Persian yarn.
For rugs on 8 gauge canvas, use Victorian cross stitch with one thread of tapestry wool or 3 threads of crewel wool. Or use tent stitch with two threads of tapestry wool or 6 threads of crewel wool.

What is the purpose of a bobbin in a sewing machine?
A bobbin winder is the part of a sewing machine that takes the thread from a spool of thread and winds it on the bobbin. The sewing machine bobbin is a mini-spool of thread, made of plastic or metal, that holds the thread that will be on the underneath portion of your fabric when you sew. The top thread comes from the spool of thread and the thread on the bottom side of your fabric comes from the bobbin. Instead of winding the thread on the bobbin by hand, long and tedious, the machine will wind it for you if you load it up correctly. Check your owner's manual for instructions. If you don't have a manual, do a google search for it by entering the name of your machine branch and the model # and it will probably find one. Also, any experienced sewer can show you how.
