Description

Our polished linen thread is made for bookbinders and hand-stitching crafters who appreciate a clean, controlled stitching experience. The thread surface has been carefully polished during manufacturing, creating a beautifully smooth texture that glides effortlessly through paper, cloth, and board.

This smooth surface makes the thread easy to handle and ideal for detailed work. It’s especially suited for crafters who prefer to apply their own wax depending on the needs of each project.
If you prefer a heavier wax coating, you can easily apply more using our wax block, which is long-lasting and perfect for regular use.
