This is the first time I have worked with waxed thread and I am hooked, the colors are great and the end product is lovely!!
Thread from Maine Thread is always the highest quality and when you're trying to find a color that will match what you're working on, you can't ask for any better. Regardless of what gauge or size you're using, the thread will match from lot to lot and from school to school with color offerings that no one else has and is dream to hand sew with. Made in America for American Craftsman and Craftsman worldwide who demand the highest quality, and the best color selection, and incredibly awesome customer service. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Exactly what I needed to complete some leather working projects. with the selection of thread gauges, as well as colors, available, I can't imagine going anywhere else. I also like that they are an American company, based in the great state of Maine.
Thanks!
