Linen [lin-uh n]: cloth made of flax and noted for its strength, coolness, and luster. Linen is a very durable, strong fabric, and one of the few that are stronger wet than dry.
Jute [jüt)]: a versatile natural plant fiber, also called the "golden fiber," derived from the bark of the white jute plant (Corchorus capsularis). Jute is 100% biodegradable and recyclable and is the second most important vegetable fiber after cotton, in terms of usage, global consumption, production, and availability.
NEW! Linen waxed thread made from the finest Egyptian flax. Thread made from flax is similar to cotton but stronger, stiffer, more sunlight resistant, and faster drying. Linen thread does not stretch, it’s very strong and durable, and due to the way the natural fibers are twisted together, it knots very well. Fabrics sewn with linen thread can be laundered at 60° C and ironed on high.
Linen thread is available in two sizes:12/3 (approx. 1mm thick) and 18/3 (0.6mm).
Note:The first number is the thickness of the thread. The higher the number, the thinner the thread. For example, our 12/3 thread is thicker than our 18/3 thread. The second number is the number of strands that are twisted together. All of our threads are 3ply.
