Tandy Leather Waxed Thread is a black 5-ply waxed linen thread supplied in a 25-metre length. It is suitable for bookbinding, leather, jewellery and a wide range of craft applications, providing the strength and control needed for hand stitching. The waxed surface helps keep the strands together and allows the thread to pass more smoothly through binding holes or leather.
The black colour works beautifully with both contemporary and traditional bindings, especially when the stitching is intended to become part of the finished design. In exposed bindings it creates a crisp contrast against kraft, natural, white or brightly coloured covers.

✨ Inspiration Tip:
In an exposed-spine binding, treat the black thread as part of the design rather than simply a functional stitch. Against kraft, natural linen or a vivid coloured cover, the dark stitching can become a strong graphic detail.
