Bookbinder's Waxed Linen Thread

Strong, stiff, and easy to thread—waxed linen thread is the gold standard for binding books. The wax prevents threads from slipping while you work, so you can pull your stitching tight and it'll actually stay that way. Our waxed linen thread is 4-ply or 3-ply, depending on the color, all with a similar diameter around 1 mm. Wrapped around a piece of repurposed pine, these threads are easy to unwind and easy to store. Thread made in Ireland. Spools wound in St. Louis.
