NewYorkerInSydney Report post Posted July 15, 2010 Hiya folks, would any of you fine people know where I would be able to purchase Irish linen threads and thick nylon threads in New York City? I am looking for somewhere with an extensive selection of threads and not the kind that is used in a sewing machine. I'd like to purchase them in person and not over the internet. The threads are to be used to sew holsters, belts, bags etc so they need to be on the thicker side though not necessary a rope either. Thank you in advance for any leads. Many kind regards!

Nyis Sewing supply store? You might try a floor covering store. My father was a floor covering installer and used carpet thread to sew carpet. You might also try a marine supply shop for thread they sew sails with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
