Sajou Fil au Chinois 20 Meters No.40 Twisted Waxed Linen Thread Star Cards 0.5mm

Description and Details

A vintage style star card with 20 meters of Fil au Chinois Twisted Waxed Linen Thread. This thread is a 3 ply thread with a diameter of approximately 0.5 mm and has a z twist.

It is an excellent choice of thread for sewing heavy fabrics, button holes and snaps and for many traditional and modern crafts such as; light leather work, Jewelry making, book binding. knotting, braiding and bead work. It is also an excellent thread for artistic free hand embroidery, as it gives a beautiful and unusual quality of line.

Like all Fil au Chinois threads, this thread is lightly waxed. The thread is passed through a bath of starch and bee's wax before twisting. Because the wax does not sit on the surface of the thread there is no stickiness, the threads have a nice sheen and are resistant to fraying.

The star cards are an old and traditional way of keeping threads, the cards keeps the thread neat and prevents the thread unraveling helping to prevent any wastage

I also have this thread in the capsule form which each contain 50 meters of thread.
