Recycle or Reuse Hemingworth Spools

We've had several of our Hemingworth customers ask us "What can I do with my empty Hemingworth spools? Can I recycle or reuse them?"

Here are some ideas for getting extra use or recycling these nifty spools:

1. There are a variety of crafts that can be created from the empty spools. Send us a photo of your original creation and we will send you 2 free spools of Hemingworth Thread (your color choice*, limit 6 spools per customer).

Decorations made from recycled Hemingworth caps.

2. Mail us your empty caps & spools. For each 10 cap & spool sets you return, we will send you a Hemingworth spool of your choice*.

3. You can purchase Hemingworth thread without the plastic cap here for $0.50 reduction in price. This is a great option if you have left-over plastic and need a thread refill only.

* Free spool choice excludes Metallic threads. Free shipping within contentental U.S. only.

I have 30 thread caps I’d like to mail in. Could I get more information on the recycle program?

Hi Amanda. Thanks for the question. The recycle program is pretty simple. For every 10 empty thread caps with spools you return to us, we will ship you one new Hemingworth spool of your choice (excludes metallics). (Free shipping within continental US only.) If you're ready to do this, please ship your spools, including a list of which threads you'd like, to...

Embroidery Central
775 W. 1000 N.
Suite 110
Logan, UT 84321

If you have further questions, please let us know.

I'm so glad you have the recycle set up. What address should I use to mail back my empty covers"? Awesome thread by the way. I have 3 big boxes, 2 color boxes and lots of loose spools in my sewing room

I just found out about Hemingworth Thread and have fallen in love with the colors. Do you ever run specials on this thread or offer a discount if numerous spools are ordered?

Hi, Barbara. I'm glad you have found and are enjoying Hemingworth thread! Individual spools don't normally go on sale, but we do have a wide variety of thread sets to choose from that will allow you to purchase the thread at a discounted pricing:
