However, I'd like to seriously work on improving this piece and learning more.I like what you're trying to say with the use of "coy," "modesty," etc. but they aren't words used to describe a thread. It's slightly unclear whether you're watching the thread's human characteristics fall (nonsensical), or if you're watching your own (speaker's) attributes unravel alongside the thread (what I think you might be getting at).
A thread so soft, I'd remove one of these descriptors. Personally, I'd choose to cut "soft."
smooth,
gentle,
coy;
unraveled.
Bit by bit,
fiber upon fiber the repetition in these two lines doesn't seem to add to the poem
of velvety decadence. I don't love "velvety decadence"
A gush took it over
of the wind; disheveled.
With it modesty,
animosity, affections,
passionately fluttered. "passionately" bogs it down a little
On the ground then "then "
I saw what was left,
unraveled
uninhibited;
undone.
That being said, it's interesting and fresh! I like it. The last three lines serve as a strong ending.
