Tuesday, December 7. 2004Threads That's right, these are threads. I have been trying to get linen threads for so long for my bookbinding. JoAnn doesn't carry it, nor they knew what I was talking about. I was like, "Linen threads!!! Threads made from linen!" Never heard of it. Anyway, Royalwood carries tons of Irish waxes linen threads. I got a whole bunch of 3-ply. I wish they carry non-waxed linen threads. The waxed ones just seem a little too tough and thick for me. Anyway, I am happy and excited about making more books now.

If you plan to order more waxed linen threads, the source you got these from seems good. I've also had great experiences with Hollanders, out of Michigan. And http://www.artpaper.com sells waxed linen threads in the biggest variety of colors I've seen anywhere, and gives you the choice of $10 spools, or 10yard increments for less than $2 each.
