Absolutely amazing thread, and amazing company!! I asked for "low wax" on the tubes I got, and they all came with minimal wax! I'm very pleased!! They also answered my emails right away. Super impressed with this company, and the quality of their thread!!

Great Thread!
I needed a waxed cord for a project and these guys came highly recommended. It worked out great. Rich color and just the right amount of wax. It also singes very well. Nice tight burn all the way to the stitch hole. Will definitely buy again.
