284 Yards Waxed Thread, 210D Heavy Duty Upholstery Wax Thread for Leather Sewing, 0.8mm Flat Waxed Linen Cord for Bookbinding/Shoe Repairing/Leather Projects

I'm using this to make extra long cargo straps for work. I cut the original strap from the ratchet and put this on and used this heavy thread to sew it with a thick needle. Not the prettiest job I've ever done, but it works. If you plan on doing something similar, here's a tip. Staple the pieces together before you start sewing. Makes it MUCH easier to sew when you don't have to hold the pieces of nylon strapping together while you're doing it. Then remove the staples once you're done.

Update 06/08/21I have bought to many to remember now.... Just picked up two black and another purple. The thread is always consistent and never has the crappy nots you find in the cheap rolls. I can not say enough good things about this companies quality control. Buy it and you will not be disappointed.... God Bless, Richard W.Original Review:Paid one dollar more for this and it was worth every penny. Very strong, Great quality & Feel, Medium to Heavy Wax through the whole roll with NO KNOTS. I bought a cheaper brand and it had a knot half way through. I laughed at other reviews thinking they were making it up but nope. You get what you pay for and this is it. All my small rolls are this and I never should have strayed. Buy this without any hesitation and you will always get a quality product.... I Have :)UPDATE 11/13/2019...... Sense I have purchased again the quality has stayed top notch. Still comes from the factory in a plastic envelope then inside is plastic shrink wrapped. To compare rolls this roll is 4.25 inches long or 108mm cardboard end to cardboard end. The wax line itself is 3.5 inches long or 89mm from top to bottom of the roll. across the roll it measures 2 1/8th inches or 54mm. This is great waxed cord and is the only one I will ever buy at this point.

solo una cosa a tener em cuenta y es queuna vez que comienzas a trabajar en el se torna azul mas claro como se puede ver en la imagen pero aun asi lucen hermosos los brazaletesjust one thing to keep in mind and that isonce you start working on it, it becomes lighter blue as you can see in the image but still the bracelets look beautiful

Pulled off Eight 48" long sections for leather stitching and 6 of the 8 had numerous snags and loose threads sticking out.I was able to push most of them into the stitch holes and tuck others under the stitch, but not at all impressed with the quality.I had to double up the stitching because I was not confident that the thread was strong enough to hold up to the use intended for it.On the bright side, it did not snap when tightening, but I still would not trust it as a single stitch.Will not buy again.I'll keep this for temporary stitching or for utility items for personal use, but I would never use this product for anything I would sell.

Was expecting "round" poly, waxed leather sewing thread. Possibly my mistake for not reading the product description close enough. Gave a 4, rather than 5, rating because I was expecting round thread.But, that said, this is a quality product, very strong, and it has a little stretch...which is important for me because I use it for binding bamboo flutes and the stretch insures that the binding will stay tight over time. Just need to be more careful when wrapping the flutes to keep the thread flat, because thread twist would be unsightly otherwise...which is why round thread is easier to use as a binding material. Also, I like the finish...not too glossy, not too to flat...just right...actually has the look of a natural fiber thread like cotton or linen, but much stronger, and with a little stretch capability.

Overall I like the thread, other colored spools of the thread I received are more even in coloration. However, the purple spool I received is almost on the poor end of the spectrum regarding the evenness of the coloration.In some spots the coloration is almost a light brown. I am somewhat disappointed since this limits how I can now use the thread. Since most of my use will involve braiding the purple thread with other thread colors, I can tolerate the discoloration. However, the discoloration does limit the thread's use for other crafts where the discoloration would be much more noticeable.

This cordage is garbage, it is a braided waxed polyester. I purchased off white and aquamarine. The aquamarine is inconsistent probably because of it's chemical makeup, difficult to dye plastic material with the wrong dye. I wish more reviews were honest. In case anyone is wondering this product is not a waxed linen, it is a chemically repugnant waste of money. I forgot to mention the horrible smell.

Purchased both white and pink waxed thread for leather project using 9 oz (3.9 mm) leather. Stitching holes were made using 3/32 in punch. Waxed thread was stitched using saddlers harness needle (3/0). Found both colored threads to be even in color with no apparent irregularities. The thread was waxed, and although this can be quite subjective by the user and application, the wax to me was moderate. Definitely apparent to touch. The thread passed through the leather smoothly without any clumping or jamming. The thread remained intact throughout the sewing process without any strand separation/splitting. To test it’s strength, it did not break when stretched. The thread is 1 mm, but not as dense as other comparably sized waxed thread I have used. Knotting was not a problem, and it remained intact after cutting the ends. All-in-all, the thread worked very well, and I am satisfied with the outcome. I recommend this waxed leather thread, especially for large projects. It is economical and quality is not sacrificed.
