I can only tell you what customer service told me. In a message dated 09/22/2009 8:29:43 A.M.

No US "manufacturing" there.

The rayon fiber is imported, then finished, dyed and wound onto cores here. Judy In a message dated 09/20/2009 6:40:29 P.M.

No where on their site does it say that. Let us know what you find out.

Made in the U.S.A.! Robison-Anton embroidery thread is manufactured and dyed in the United States. Most other thread available to the home embroiderer is made in China or elsewhere. When you buy American, you save American jobs! I'll call them on Monday morning to find out for sure. I really don't like it when someone stretches the truth about something like that!
