Hi there, I’m glad you were able to find your answer through our video tutorial on threads. Just in case you want some more information here it is: Dual Duty is a line of Coats and Clark thread so that is phrase unique to them. They’re a big thread manufacturer, so you’ll probably find them in every fabric store you go into. The four most common thread types are all purpose, cotton, rayon, and silk. For the majority of your projects, you’ll just be fine using the All Purpose. Regardless of the thread brand, this is the phrase you want to look for on the spool. All purpose is a polyester thread and it’s great because it comes in a large variety of colors, (more so than the cotton), the color doesn’t fade and you don’t have to worry about it shrinking when you wash your project. In your case, for your fleece hat, you’ll be fine the All-Purpose. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. And I hope we get to see a picture of your hat when you finish. Thanks.
