Because it was uninteresting? Just a guess.

I've never had a pulled thread. How do you get one pulled?

[CommandoFrank]

Could it be you're 'unraveling'?

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

How many times do I have to say it? If you don't quit pulling your thread, you'll go blind.

[MVV]

A thread asking why a thread was pulled was pulled... can anyone tell me why?

Now that there is the space provided to explain why a thread is pulled we can find out. Let me go look........................it says..............REASON: PULLED. That explains it.

[Larry Lucido]

I pulled a loose thread in my sweater, and pretty soon the whole thing became unraveled. Maybe it has to do with that whole "seamless garment" thing.

[WellsFargo94]

Have you read, Pulled Threads in a Nutshell, by Stephen Hawking?

[Dan from Michigan]

The Fabrics of Pulled Thread Embroidery

By Pat Fitzgerald
Originally published in Needle Arts Volume XXIII , Number 1 March 1992 .

Pulled thread embroidery has a long and colorful history, from being worn by Cleopatra circa 50 B.C. to adorning altar cloths in Germany in the 1200s. In the 1800s, it was made to imitate ace and was esteemed enough to have been included with ace in the practices of taxation and smuggling. It has been worn by the aristocracy and the peasantry aike.

The earliest documentation of the practice of pulled thread was in India, 320-340 A.D. Records indicated that pulled thread was done on filmy muslin and executed with silk threads. Evidence also indicated that around 1200 pulled thread was done on natural linen with colored silk and metal threads in Egypt, the Middle East, and Peru. The 1800s found Dresden (another name for pulled thread) being done in Germany on nearly transparent muslin. It also has been worked on Raffia cloth in West Africa and pina cloth (a cloth made from the bark of the pineapple tree) as well as hemp in the Phillipines. Down through the centuries, pulled thread embroidery has been done on fabrics of very fine thread counts of at least 100 threads to the inch.

I just posted to another thread that was yanked. I know the reason though, I bet. I think the body of the thread was attributed to a movie star that didn't actually say it.

I'm sure if you inquire the moderator will be happy to give his/her reasons.

Somehow your thread reminded me of this:
