Perfect for Durable Creations: Whether you dream of creating robust bags, hard-wearing shoes, or other unique accessories, Barbour linen thread is the ideal material. Its natural strength combined with the waxed finish ensures seams that will withstand everyday use and more.
Beautiful Finish with Wax: The wax on the thread has several benefits. It allows the thread to lay neatly and flat in the seam, providing a professional and aesthetically pleasing result. After sewing, a few light taps with a hammer can further smooth the seam and ensure an extra fine finish.
Avoids Fraying and Splitting: The beeswax used in the waxing process not only helps to provide a beautiful finish but also effectively prevents the thread from splitting or fraying during sewing. This makes the sewing process more comfortable and ensures a clean and strong result.
Eco-Friendly and Extra Strong (5-Ply): Barbour linen thread is an environmentally friendly choice, as linen is a natural and sustainable fiber. This specific thread is spun from five separate plies (18/5), giving it exceptional strength and durability that your projects will benefit from for many years to come.
