thread

Known for its extreme strength, Japanese polyester thread is made by using an integrated bonding process. This prevents fraying, which makes it a perfect choice for hand-sewing. I run the thread through a hunk of beeswax just prior to using, so it glides through the hand-punched holes as I sew.
