Is this leather thread suitable for beginners?
Yes, though finer threads (0.35 - 0.45mm) require a bit more control. Visit our leather thread sizing guide for more information.
Is the thread pre-waxed?
Yes, it is lightly pre-waxed. Heavier threads may need a little extra waxing and for this we recommend our British beeswax block.
What leather thickness is it best for?
The 0.35-0.55mm threads are ideal for thin to medium-weight leather. For heavier leather use the 0.65mm thread, or consider our thicker alternatives of 0.85mm threads or 1.0 mm threads.
How does it compare to synthetic thread?
Linen offers a more traditional look, while synthetics prioritise durability. Read our comparison guide of Linen vs Polyester thread for more information.

Help With Selecting the Right Thread Size
| Size | Thickness | Stitches Per Inch | Best For | Look |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| M30 | ~0.3 mm | 10–12 SPI (2.0–2.5 mm) | Watch straps, luxury small leather goods, ultra-fine stitching | Very refined / minimal |
| M40 | ~0.35 mm | 9–10 SPI (2.5–2.8 mm) | Wallets, cardholders, fine detail work | Clean & subtle |
| M50 | ~0.45 mm | 7–9 SPI (2.8–3.5 mm) | General leathercraft, wallets, small bags | Balanced everyday |
| M60 | ~0.55 mm | 6–8 SPI (3.5–4.0 mm) | Belts, bags, durable leather goods | Visible / slightly bold |
| M70 | ~0.65 mm | 5–7 SPI (4.0–5.0 mm) | Heavy-duty leatherwork, saddlery | Bold statement |
• For everyday leather goods → M50 is the most versatile choice
• For durability and visible stitching → go thicker (M60–M70)
• Rule of thumb: thicker thread = wider stitch spacing
