Care Instructions:
You can care for thread that has been vegetable dyed like you would any other textile. We always recommend pH neutral detergent and storing your items in the dark when not in use, as some dyes (natural or synthetic) can fade if left in direct sunlight.
Vegetable dyes do give the thread a little different texture because a very slight amount of vegetable matter is still on and between the cotton fibers. You may notice a bit of dust accumulating on your needle where the thread goes through the eye. This is normal. We have also noticed that the dye process adds a bit of strength to the thread. And, different colors have different effects.
The darker colors where indigo and iron are used tend to do what is known as crocking. That means that if you were to rub the spool of thread against a piece of white fabric you might notice a bit of the color on the fabric. When sewing with a single strand you don’t notice the crocking, and the color doesn’t bleed into the fabric, but it might leave a slight dust on the sewing machine if a lot of sewing is done.

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.
- Material: 100% Flax Fiber
- Color: White, Black
- 12/3 (1mm) | 127 yards
- 18/3 (0.6mm) | 172 yards
- Bleached & Lightly Waxed with Cornstarch
- All Natural and Eco-friendly
- Multi-purpose, Long-lasting, and Durable
- Comes on a Wooden Spool
- Use for hand sewing, leather stitching, bookbinding, beading, lacing, tatting, embroidery and more!
