Color

All photos were taken in natural light. Appearance of color may vary slightly under different light, and on various computer monitors. Color can also vary depending on the thickness of thread and dye lots. If you’d like to see our colors first-hand, email jennifer@mainethread.com to request a complimentary sample card.

Satisfied

Excellence in every aspect.
I had been wanting to try them for a long time, and they exceeded all my expectations. The customer service was impeccable—helpful, kind, and truly attentive to customer needs.
The color and quality of the threads bring out the best in my leatherwork, adding a touch of class and precision.
Many people had recommended them to me, and they were absolutely right: once you try them, there’s no going back.
I’m thoroughly satisfied.

Just What I Needed!

This is a great improvement over the "usual" waxed thread I have been using for years. It looks better from the start without any compromise in the sewing characteristics. Plus, it comes in several diameters so that you can match the size of the thread to the placement and the piece. I'm totally a convert.
