This Craft Supplies & Tools item by MakeABasket has 75 favorites from shoppers. Ships from United States. Listed on 22 Jan, 2024
New thread for me, MADE IN USA Available in truly a rainbow of colors! Low wax, low hackle easy to use and durable this is made especially for craft use. It is very often used in fly tying, basketry, and Native people's crafts. THIS THREAD IS NOT WRAPPED BY THE MANUFACTURER, NOR ARE THE LOOSE ENDS KNOTTED. COLOR NOTES: •WHITE because not wrapped, sometimes bleed happens from other bolts, as explained below. Most often white will have small places where the thread is yellowed, on the outside of the bolt. This is usually only one or two very small spots with minimal bleed. Bolts with bleed are offered to you at a reduced price •NATURAL varies somewhat considerably, from a very light tan, to an almost honey color. Several variations are shown in the photos. you may want to ask for the one you like best, to see if i have in stock Choice of : small bobbin (about 20 yards, unsplit. approx. .75 oz by weight) medium bolt (about 80 yards, unsplit. approx. 4 oz by weight) large bolt (about 160 yards, unsplit. approx. 8 oz by weight) Not all colors are available in every size. PLEASE NOTE: I don't think the Medium size bolt will be available in the future, I can no longer order it. What you see here is probably all I can get. Only small and large in the future. 50 pound weight can be split easily with your fingers, splits naturally into 3 strands of approximately 17 pd test each. Since it will split into multiple strands, this is will triple your fiber! Over-waxing makes for easy threading and stitching. Small is a lovely size for classes, students will have plenty of thread for a project, but not so much if they choose to never use it again. AND they can learn to split the sinew in the class (from the center, not the end.) Called artificial sinew because the natural color resembles real sinew. Real sinew, however, soft attachment tissues (tendons or ligaments) from deer, etc, is stinky, difficult to obtain, and very time consuming to process. (and comes in only one color) It also has limited length and is subject to being chewed on by critters. I am happy to report artificial sinew has none of these negative features, and looks almost just like real sinew, with the added bonus of being super easy to work with, readily available, and relatively cheap. Another word about colors: This is an extruded thread, which means it is a vat of liquid, forced through a press, and the thread comes out solid (like a spider silk.) The color is put in the vat when the thread is liquid. So it is colorfastwith the exception of the natural tan color. That is white thread, with a tan colored wax on the outside of it. The wax does wear with time. So if you are using this for something that presses up against something else white, the tan wax may discolor the white thing next to it. I do not recommend the natural (tan) thread for use in wearable items that are light colored! For wonderful coiling fibers, including dyed pine needles, check out Midnightcoiler.
