zuludog Report post Posted November 19, 2014 At the moment I'm making knife sheaths from 3 to 3.5mm (approx 8oz) leather. I have been using the synthetic thread that is supplied with a Tandy starter kit; the thickness is about right, but I would like to try linen Can anyone tell me the size of the Tandy thread, please? Or the equivalent in linen? or any other suggestions & comments? The Tandy thread is pre - waxed, but I would also like to try waxing my own. Again, any comments? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ramrod Report post Posted December 18, 2014 i wish i had the answer, but i'm not familiar with what tandt provides. as for linen, i generally use a 4 cord at 6 s.p.i. for my 6 oz and up leather work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King's X Report post Posted December 18, 2014 Are you able to count the number of threads? Tandy also just came out with unwaxed linen thread that you can select the thickness and wax yourself. They have a small spool and larger spool. Maybe post a picture of the spool you are using? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
