Hanging Sculpture

I love this product. I've been creating ceramic tiles and using them to make hanging sculptures. Before I was using upholstery thread which worked fine, but wasn't the best aesthetically. The Maine Thread braided waxed cord is strong, beautiful, the slightly tacky finish allows for more control and subtle articulation, and I love the color options. Right now I'm using Granite and Russet and they create such a lovely, finished look for the sculptures. I will definitely be buying more.

Just the Best

I have been using the majority of the Chinese, Japanese, and French threads over the past year, and many of those are good for various reasons. but for my experience Main Threads braided poly is superior in every way.
