Waxed Linen Thread – No 3

R130.00

This waxed linen thread is specially suited for bookbinding projects where the stitching is meant to be seen and appreciated — especially exposed spine, coptic stitch, long stitch, and other decorative bindings. Strong, flexible, and easy to work with, it gives your finished books a clean, professional look while adding a beautiful handmade character.

Each length is carefully waxed to improve durability, reduce fraying, and help the thread glide smoothly through paper and board. The wax coating also gives better grip and knot security, making sewing signatures and spine structures easier and more controlled.

Perfect for bookbinders, journal makers, and repair work, this thread balances strength with flexibility so your bindings stay secure without becoming stiff or brittle.

Features:

  • 100% linen thread

  • Hand-waxed for smooth stitching

  • Excellent for exposed spine bindings

  • Ideal for coptic stitch, long stitch, and decorative sewing

  • Strong, durable, and flexible

  • Tangle-resistant and easy to tension

  • Suitable for journals, sketchbooks, and handbound books

A dependable, workshop-ready thread that looks as good as it performs — especially when your spine sewing is part of the design.
