Extraordinary thread

I frequently need a neutral white thread for bookbinding and fiber art projects. While ordering two other colors for a project, I read about the new Renew Twisted Waxed Cord, and added it to my order. I tried ten feet of it off a roll last weekend.

My verdict? A sure winner! This thread is smooth, strong, pleasantly neutral in color, easy to separate, and a joy to work with. I'll happily order it again.

Thank you so much for your feedback. We're glad you're loving it as much as we do!
