Thread
Thread is a free-to-play item, with a high alchemy value of 2 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Thread is to buy it: Thessalia's Fine Clothes in Varrock sells it for 4 coins, and 5 other shops stock it too.

Ironman verdict
At least 9 monsters drop it. The easiest is Corpse spider (level 4, 10/162); the best rate is Dragith Nurn (level 26), at 10/262, about 2.5 per kill. Other sources include Baby impling, Baby impling jar, H.A.M. Member (male) and New Varrock guard captain, plus 4 more listed below. 317 recipes use Thread, including Anniversary architect plushie, Apex hide armour (adorned) and Archleather body. Thread is available on free-to-play worlds too. It is tradeable on normal accounts, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade for it, so the sources on this page are the whole list. High Alchemy turns one into 2 coins, which is 2 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
