I use the waxed thread for my basket weaving, perfect for what I do, I love the quality and the colors.
I love these threads I have been using for years. Great quality. I feel like they use to have more wax years ago. But not complaining. I love them
I wish all companies treated their customers as well as Maine Thread. Items always arrive with great speed and accuaracy.
I have recently changed over to Maine Thread as my supplier for threads I use in my pine needle baskets. I have been more than pleased. The thread is beautiful and strong. The shipping is surprisingly fast too. P
