I'm assuming that you heard this term from a practitioner of Chinese Medicine. If it's referring to something else, disregard this answer. In Chinese Medicine a thready pulse is one way to translate the Chinese term Xi Mai, which describes a pulse that is thin and most often weak in quality. It feels thin in diameter, like a silken thread (indicating a lesser volume of fluid in the artery itself), and usually is soft, and forceless. It indicates a physiological deficiency of some sort, usually of the qi or blood. Hope this was helpful.
It is not only used in Chinese Medicine. It is commonly used in Canada to describe a weak pulse with varying degrees of strength. Thready pulse is also taught to be a key sign in Shock ( hypovolemic, anaphylactic, septic, cardiogenic and neurogenic shock )
