Imported from France, and stocked in the widest range of thicknesses available.
All threads are three ply, sold in 50gm spools.
The numbers below indicate the thickness of the thread, the lightest in weight being the 150.
The Linen Thread we sell is polished, which means there has been a small amount of wax added to the product during the spinning process. This gives the thread strength, body, and a beautiful sheen. True \"waxed\" thread is not desirable for bookbinding as it has too much wax and feels almost sticky to the touch. In warm weather the wax will even melt and stain paper. Our polished thread is the ideal type of linen thread for bookbinding.
If you would like to wax your own thread, we recommend using our beeswax in holder.

Ramie is a non woven vegetable based fiber often used as a substitute for linen sewing tapes as a sewing support and reattaching boards. Because of its strength, thinness, and ability to fray easily at the ends and blend into a cover.
Made from vegetable fiber from Boehmeria nivea and their family members, a nettle. Comes from tropical Asia, It is a very strong fiber, 3x as strong as cotton, and has hardly any stretch, which makes it very suitable for strengthening moving parts.
