savage_here Report post Posted July 14, 2010 Sorry for the poor pic and the lack of a frame of reference for size. What I've been able to extrapolate is that the bobbin/spool is about 1 1/2" tall. I think the thread is around 346-415 in size and I'm pretty sure it's nylon, but could be poly. At first I thought it might be C-Lon bead cord, but I think it's bigger than that. Anyway, does anybody recognize it? Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cem Report post Posted July 24, 2010 It definately looks like nylon to me has that sheen to it, It does look like C-Lon but they come on white spools and the thickest cord is about 277. It could be S-Lon they came on the brown spools but I think they may have the same thread width as C-Lon. If you can't find it exactly C-Lon Bead Cord and the C-Lon Tex 400 works fine for leatherwork I use it all the time when I'm doing a small project that needs colour.

savage_here Report post Posted July 27, 2010 Thanks for the replies everyone. I think it's most likely S-lon. The picture is so close-up that I think it makes the thread size look larger than it is. I ordered a bobbin/spool of C-lon, S-lon and C-lon Tex 400 so that I could see them in hand. To my naked eye, without doing any scientific measuring, the S-lon looks the tiniest bit thicker than the C-lon (but, I'm talking barely any difference). The Tx400 is obviously bigger, but I think still ultimately useable for my leatherworking needs in certain situations. I'm going to try them all out and see how they look. Thanks again.
