Slam - A New Hand Sewing Thread For Leather!

[MonicaJacobson]

Cool, I'll be giving this stuff a try, soon. When I get more moneys.

Placed my order in for 11 rolls! 5 in 0.8mm and 6 in 0.6mm. I figured if it is not as waxy as I would like, I can always run the thread through a block of wax. Looking forward to some stitching time with it. Hopefully I can put my search for thread to rest.

Thanks Garrett,

In the future if you have time to post a picture of a project using the thread, I would love to see it.

Colours are shown when items are selected for the cart on Lakoza, but Fuxia shows Green and Cielio shows a Brown. I speak no Italian and Google says Fuxia is Fuscia/Magenta and Cielio is Sky Blue?

I'm excited to announce the arrival of a new line of thread which goes by the name of Slam, and is a product of Italy. I've had trouble in the past finding a supplier who can produce 0.6mm, and 0.8mm with high quality and consistency. This thread fits the bill, and after working with it I am very happy with the results. I have not yet had a chance to take photos of example stitching, but those will come.

will get some Slam for sure soon.

Matt, what happened to Twin Eagle? They can't produce thinner (not only 1.1mm) ?

Cause I'm good with it, especially if the would have 0,6, 0,8 too ))

can you write a weight of 0,8 and 0,8 Slam thread bulks?

Yes I had some issues with the factory when trying to have them produce smaller thread sizes. The shipping weight of each roll is 6-7 ounces per 0.6mm roll, and 9-10 ounces for each 0.8mm roll. Look on the first page of this thread if you want to see a picture of the thread's braid - I uploaded a picture.

Hi Dave. Fuxia is the Italian word for fuchsia. Cielio is misspelled on my site. I just updated it to Cilielgio, which means cherry tree. Not sure why it is named that, but don't worry - it is the brown that shows in the photo.
