About it

Waxed in the twisting so it holds a knot and slides through leather without fraying. Enough for two sewn notebooks or one wallet.

Cut in one length

Asked for three metres and got one clean length, folded in tissue. Slubs catch the light beautifully.

Good thread, wish the spool was bigger

Holds a knot better than anything I have used for binding. I go through it faster than expected.

Washes well

Pre-washed really means pre-washed: I made two shirts and neither moved after three hot washes.
