穴糸


Definition from 仕立て特殊用語:
穴糸(あないと)
 ボタンホールの穴かがりや、ループに用いられる太めの絹、または合成繊維などの3本撚り糸。飾りステッチに用いられることもある。

Example sentence(s):
  • 撚糸(ねんし)「Twisting」 糸に撚(よ)りをかける事、または撚った糸(撚り糸)のこと。単糸に撚りを掛けることもあるが、一般には2本の糸、または複数の糸を合わせて撚りを掛けることを言う。 - ファッション用語集 Marc Arrows  
  • 穴糸(あないと)  ボタンホールの穴かがりや、ループに用いられる太めの絹、または合成繊維などの3本撚り糸。飾りステッチに用いられることもある。 - 仕立て特殊用語  
  • to twist a thread 糸に撚りをかける - EDR日英対訳辞書 - Weblio  

Explanation:
仕立て特殊用語ウェブサイトによると「穴糸」だけでボタン穴かがりに使う撚り糸を指すようです。「ボタンホール用撚糸(ねんし)」「ボタン穴かがり用撚り糸」などだと意味の重複が起こるかもしれませんが、仕立て用語を知っている人ばかりではないので、説明を含んだ訳出の方が良い場合もあると思います。
