threads
Spool's twisted contents
Threads are long, thin strands used for sewing or weaving—the basic units of fabric.
The word extends to anything similarly thin and continuous: a thread of smoke, threads of a conversation.
To thread is to pass something through a narrow opening: thread a needle, thread your way through a crowd.
In computing, a thread is a sequence of linked messages or a unit of program execution.
Slang uses threads to mean clothes: Nice threads. (Capitalized Threads is the social media platform.)
