Rivits Report post Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) Anyone know where i could purchase 554 or even 415 unwaxed poly thread in a selection of bright colors? The best I found was waxed at thethreadexchange.com Edited November 1, 2012 by Rivits Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cem Report post Posted November 2, 2012 I've used the poly 415 from The Thread Exchange I looked for quite awhile to find these sizes in other colours and didn't come up with anything other than the usual black & white. It's not heavily waxed though so it's possible to dye it and wax it yourself which I've done in the past,normal spirit leather dye works fine either Angleus or Fiebings if your are hand sewing. If you are just after thicker thread linen and braided poly comes in a few more colours, I use braided poly 1mm thick exclusively now which is in between 415 & 554.

Rivits Report post Posted November 2, 2012 Thanks, I've been thinking a switch to braided poly might be nice. Any good sites? I'm looking for bright red right now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cem Report post Posted November 3, 2012 For white, brown, black and yellow I buy from here it's called Zircon http://www.mrechtonline.com.au for others colours I buy from Abbey Saddlery different manufacturer and is called Ritza 25/Tiger but looks the same as the Zircon, you will need a business tax number to buy from them though. Another place that sells the the bigger rolls of Zircon is is http://www.caudwell.co.nz/braid.htm I haven't bought from them but may do so as they look to have a few more colours than Abbey. If you want to try it before investing with larger rolls Tandy sell braided thread on small rolls it looks the same as the other two and they have it in red.
