Linen Thread for Leather

Waxed Linen Thread for Leather

This waxed linen thread is a traditional hand-stitching material used by leatherworkers and knife makers for producing strong, clean and consistent stitches in leather goods.

It is well suited to projects such as knife sheaths, tool rolls, belts, wallets and pouches where a classic hand-stitched finish is preferred. The thread comes lightly waxed and ready to use, allowing it to pass smoothly through leather while maintaining good tension during stitching.

Linen thread is commonly chosen for sheath making and traditional leathercraft, offering excellent handling and control when saddle stitching by hand.
