Members Ferryman Posted February 12, 2021 Author Members Report Posted February 12, 2021 Thank you folks for all your help. I have ordered some of the leather lace fredk recomended Quote
Members Ed in Tx Posted February 12, 2021 Members Report Posted February 12, 2021 Cable lacing twine is the same as what is used for leather lacing. The difference is the size of the cable lacing twine is larger, I believe it is referred to as 9 strand. Basically the same as sewing thread where you have various sizes from 69 to 138, 20, 277 etc. Cable lacing twine is normally either black or white in color and is always waxed. In my younger days I laced miles of communication cables in telephone company central offices. That is pretty much a lost art these days, cable ties are much quicker. Quote
Members TonyV Posted February 12, 2021 Members Report Posted February 12, 2021 I know a couple old cable splicers that still know how to sew cable. The 9-ply is still available but the needles are hard to come by. I hadn't thought of using it to sew leather... Quote
