1mm Waxed Polyester Braid Thread – White 100m Spool

Description

1mm White Waxed Polyester Braid Thread – 100m Spool

Create clean, strong and highly visible stitches with this premium white waxed thread. Manufactured from braided polyester and lightly waxed, it is designed for reliable hand stitching across a wide range of leathercraft projects.

The braided construction provides strength and helps the thread maintain its shape while being pulled firmly through pre-punched stitching holes. Its light wax coating reduces friction, improves handling and helps prevent the individual fibres from separating during sewing.

At 1mm thick, this thread produces a bold, clearly defined stitch that works particularly well on medium-weight and heavier leather projects. The crisp white colour creates an attractive contrast against black, brown, tan, navy and brightly coloured leather. It can also provide a subtle, coordinated finish when stitching white or pale leather.

Each spool contains approximately 100 metres of thread, providing a practical quantity for new projects, ongoing workshop use and leather repairs.

Suitable Leathercraft Applications

This white waxed thread is suitable for saddle stitching and other traditional hand-sewing techniques. Use it for making or repairing:

• Leather wallets and card holders
• Handbags, satchels and totes
• Belts and leather straps
• Knife sheaths and tool pouches
• Cases, covers and organisers
• Saddlery and general leathercraft
• Decorative contrast stitching
• Handmade leather accessories

For the best result, match the thread to an appropriately sized harness needle and prepare evenly spaced stitching holes using a pricking iron, stitching chisel or awl. Because 1mm thread creates a noticeable stitch line, always test it on a leather offcut first to confirm that the thickness, hole size and stitch spacing suit your project.

Why Choose This White Waxed Thread?

Braided polyester is valued for its strength, consistency and resistance to everyday wear. The light wax coating makes the thread easier to control while hand sewing and helps each stitch settle neatly against the leather.

White thread is an excellent choice when you want your stitching to become part of the design. It creates a sharp contrast on darker leather and offers a clean, professional appearance across both traditional and contemporary leather goods.
