Customer Reviews
I've been using Twisted Wax Cord for all my leather projects for the past six years and couldn't be more pleased! In fact, I don't even look for alternative thread any longer. I buy directly from Maine Thread. Here's a picture of my latest leather bag (completed 09-01-24), made for my daughter to go tailgating at home games. I used White and Orange Twisted Wax Cord on this bag.
The best quality waxed thread I’ve used. Buying from a made in the USA company makes me even happier. Orders ship fast!
Hi! I received the .030 white waxed cord and it's just what I need. Could you tell me how many feet of cord is on the spool? Thanks.
Thanks!
Fantastic
Thread arrived promptly and was EXACTLY what I needed! I am sewing leather and it is a wonderful quality thread that makes leather-work easy. Well worth the money!
