Description:
Waxed Irish linen cord is a strong, high-quality thread made from 100% Irish linen that has been coated with a wax layer, giving it increased durability, excellent knot-holding ability, and a slightly stiff texture, making it ideal for crafts like jewelry making, Kumihimo, basket weaving, bookbinding, and leatherwork due to its strength and ability to hold intricate stitches; the wax also helps prevent fraying and adds a subtle sheen to the cord.
Key points about waxed Irish linen cord:
- Material: Made from premium quality Irish flax fibers, known for their strength and longevity.
- Wax coating: A layer of paraffin wax applied to the thread, providing water resistance and improved knotting capabilities.
- Versatile uses: Commonly used in jewelry making, basket weaving (especially pine needle baskets), bookbinding, leatherwork, and other craft projects where strong, durable thread is required.
- Appearance: Can come in a variety of colors and often has a slightly glossy finish due to the wax.
- Brand recognition: "Crawford Threads" is a well-known manufacturer of waxed Irish linen cord.
