+# Threads
+
+Tomo supports POSIX threads (pthreads) through the `Thread` type. The
+recommended practice is to have each thread interact with other threads only
+through thread-safe Channels with no other shared data.
+
+## Thread Methods
+
+### `new`
+
+**Description:**  
+Creates a new thread to execute a specified function.
+
+**Usage:**  
+```tomo
+Thread.new(fn: func() -> Void) -> Thread
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `fn`: The function to be executed by the new thread.
+
+**Returns:**  
+A new `Thread` object representing the created thread.
+
+**Example:**  
+```tomo
+>> jobs := |Int|
+>> results := |Int|
+>> thread := Thread.new(func():
+    while yes:
+        input := jobs:get()
+        results:give(input + 10
+)
+= Thread<0x12345678>
+>> jobs:give(10)
+>> results:get()
+= 11
+```
