The length of cotton thread on a reel can vary widely depending on the type and purpose of the thread. Commonly, standard sewing thread reels contain anywhere from 100 to 500 yards (about 91 to 457 meters) of thread. Specialty threads, such as those for quilting or embroidery, may come in different lengths, sometimes exceeding 1,000 yards. Always check the packaging for specific information on the length of the thread in a particular reel.
