Description and Details
Fil au Chinois No. 40 waxed linen thread is a versatile and strong hand sewing thread with a heritage reputation among leatherworkers, bookbinders, tailors and craft stitchers. The thread is made from twisted linen and lightly waxed, giving it a smooth handle with a subtle sheen that allows it to glide through leather, canvas, heavy linens and other sturdy fabrics with ease.
Each capsule contains 50 metres of thread at a thickness of 0.5 mm, making this size useful for hand stitching where durability is needed without bulk. The light waxing improves fray resistance and strength, so your seams stay neat and secure even under tension. Although waxed, the thread does not feel sticky because the wax is worked into the fibres rather than sitting on the surface.
This thread is suitable for a wide range of hand craft uses. It is commonly chosen for leatherwork, bookbinding, heavy hand sewing, visible mending and decorative stitching on sturdy textiles. Its durability and classic texture make it a reliable choice when you need stitches that hold well and look purposeful.
