Review on Linhasita Polyester Waterproof Resistant Friendship by Heather Shaw

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not for leather goods in my opinion

The thread seems fit for purpose. I bought to hand sew leather goods. It didn't meet my needs but the descriptions etc didn't indicate it was leather goods. So I can't use the default product. I thought it would be wise to write a review for fellow tanners. I use a lot of 1mm Brindle and thought this would be a good round line option. The product did not fit in the eyelets. If a piece started fraying, trying to thread it through the eyelet would just unravel it. When I used a needle with a large eye, it threaded, but the result was a little bulky in the stitch. May work well with a round hole punch but expect it to be a little larger than 1mm tiger thread. The other waxed cords I've used are knit inside out so fraying edges don't cause the needle threading to fail like it used to. That's why I'm giving it four stars because I'm sure it's just a godsend for what it does. The color was nice and the filament seemed strong, but it didn't work for my application, which it never claimed.

Pros
  • Crafts and sewing
Cons
  • Big and bulky
