I Am Holding In My Hand: Tiger Thread

[electrathon]

This thread has came up as a topic of discussion a few times. I offered to organize a group buy and had no intrest so I just bought a few rolls. Pretty nice looking thread. It is woven instead of simply twisted. I will have to sew a little to see how well it sews and looks when done. It does remind me of the braided thread that Tandy sells, I have used a lot of that and it works well.

In hand I spent about $25 per 500 meter roll. A little spendy but not totally out of line.

I've purchased some from a forum member in Canada, and it's a joy to work with!

If you don't mind me inquiring, where did you purchase this?

I opened an account at Abby and imported it. I was going to do a group buy but got no interest when I posted about it.

Is this a high end polished linen? How is the thread gauged, like 4, 5 or 6 cord like domestic linen? thanks steve

Wow, at 21 GB pounds plus shipping plus duty, you seem to have got it at less than the list price on the Abbey web site!

If there are others interested in this I have no objection to a group buy. You would have the cost of the thread and the next layer of shipping to you, so about $35 per 500 meter roll. It is really not that expensive, just a little hassle with the overseas issue. I have been using it for a little while now and I do like it.

I can put you on a group buy list. Are you getting it up in Canada or buying it from Abbey? What have you had to pay when you are buying to rolls you are splitting into short rolls? Or is there someplace selling short rolls?
