Linen thread is a strong natural-fibre thread traditionally used for jobs where durability, low stretch and a firm finish are important.

Common uses include:

  • Bookbinding and book repair
  • Leatherwork and leather stitching
  • Saddlery and harness repair
  • Upholstery work
  • Carpet and rug repair
  • Canvas stitching
  • Tent, awning and sail repairs
  • Luggage and bag repairs
  • Shoe and boot repairs
  • Mattress and bedding manufacture
  • Heavy-duty hand sewing
  • Button and tufting work
  • Craft and traditional textile projects
  • Jewellery and beadwork
  • Macramé and decorative knotting
  • Archival restoration and conservation work
  • Picture-frame and upholstery lacing
  • General household repairs requiring a strong thread

Because linen thread is strong and has very little stretch, it is particularly suited to leather, canvas, upholstery, bookbinding and other heavy-duty hand-sewing applications.
