Customer Reviews
I am so excited to get this product. I have picked back up making pine needle baskets and I was struggling to find the right thread. Someone recommended Maine thread and I am so glad they did!
I got the product quickly and got started. It is just what I needed. I only got one roll in a brown color in case I needed to hide flaws or problems. It’s starting out great and I’m excited to try new colors. I’m ordering more with a variety of colors to play with! Thank you!
This stuff is amazing. Though I am new to leather working, I have tried others, but none compare. KUDOS!
Fast shipping will order again!
I decided to create my own wind chimes, and Maine Waxed Thread was recommended. Best pricing (checked Amazon and Etsy) was directly through Maine Threads website, which offered so many colors and thicknesses so you find exactly what you need. Shipping was fast, too!
Gold brown is my go-to thread for the pine needle baskets I make, with ecru as the runner up. The thread is excellent quality at a reasonable price, and Maine Thread ships promptly.
