Needles
Our needles are specially designed for bookbinding and used in different bookbinding projects. Each pack includes 2 needles. One is 70mm in length ( Large eye for thick thread ), and the other one is 62mm in length ( Smaller eye compared with 70mm eye)
For needles, the sizes 18/3, 25/3 and 40/3 can fit into our 62mm and 70mm straight needles and B1, B2, B3 and B4 curved needles. Except 18/5 can only fit 70mm straight needle.
Discover our needles →As normal, you can simply wet the end of the thread, so the thread can easily fit into the needle eyes without hassles.
Length
6000mm
If you want to make a journal that is slightly bigger than A5, and the journal has 8 sections, we have specially calculated 6000 mm for you, so it will be enough for you to make a journal, at the same time, you don't have to buy more than what you need.
Please note the thread pack in the image is 6000mm in length.
Why we use this thread
We have used many threads in the past and tested most of the threads on the market, unfortunately, most of them were quite weak for bookbinding, and can snap by pulling the thread too tight. It is very important for us to use strong thread, as we restore and bind many valuable books in our bindery.
This thread we have been using for many years, and we can confirm this is one of the strongest threads we ever used so far, it is tested by our book restorers and bookbinders.
