Django57 Report post Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) Hello , is it important to use waxed thread for small items like wallets or watch straps or would it be OK to use un-waxed , why i'm asking is there's a company in UK (LePrevo) that sell un-waxed 18/3 linen thread with a good choice of colours at decent price , i know i can wax it myself just wonderd if it's critical for small pocket type stuff ? Should say it's in my case it's for hand stitching.

grmnsplx Report post Posted April 23, 2015 Looks nice. Is it linen, polyester or nylon. I have some natural unwaxed linen. It looks really nice on some items as it is, and its great because you can dye it yourself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt T Report post Posted April 23, 2015 Please let us know how it works out, and put a picture of your stitching if possible. That is a really good price. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

celticleather Report post Posted April 24, 2015 That particular thread from Le Prevo is an excellent product! I use it all the time, but I always wax it before use. The wax keeps the thread from untwisting, and provides a degree of lubrication. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
