Mandala Crafts Navy Blue Flat Waxed Thread for Leather Sewing Thread - Polyester Waxed Leather Thread Waxed String - 273 Yds 150D 0.8mm Waxed Cord for Leather Stitching

I thought this would be a great deal given the high price point for waxed thread for leatherworking. Sadly, like some other reviewers, I was made a sucker.The thread is completely bare of any wax at all. There feels to be some waxy residue inside the plastic bag it came in, but that's entirely the scope of the "wax" applied to the thread. It feels like they just rubbed a candle on the inside of the bag and then just dropped a spool of plastic thread in it claiming it's waxed. The thread itself doesn't even feel remotely quality. There is far too little waxy residue for it to have melted off, as I attempted to unwind it in hopes that maybe the outer layer had done so. No dice - the thread just isn't waxed at all.Just buy it from a normal merchant. I normally don't write reviews as I'm usually preaching to the choir, but this product is so far off that I felt required to before other people waste their time and money.

This is NOT waxed thread. It's flat and synthetic, but not waxed. It frays easily and won't stay threaded, leather threading style, through my needle because there is not enough friction to keep it from going back through the needle. DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU WANT TO USE IT TO SEW LEATHER...

Negligible wax. I could harness stitch about a dozen or so holes before the thread would break at the needle. It's Not durable and I'm not quite sure what I'll use this for....certainly not a paying client. This is a good example of what I wouldn't want and will not buy again.

First let me say I make holsters, knife sheaths and motorcycle seats mostly. This thread seems very similar to “Tiger Thread” (at a fraction of the cost) which is what I normally use and in my opinion is the industry standard. My only complaint is that it could use just a touch more wax but that is something I can easily fix myself.

Mandala makes a great product. It’s great value for money. They have a large color selection. It’s great for the beginner as well as the professional. I can’t say enough good things about this thread. Just buy it and give it a shot. You won’t be disappointed. One side note. Some colors are waxed more than others. Not sure why, probably due to the manufacturing process. Some colors are very lightly waxed and depending on your preference you might want to wax a little more. I add extra wax to certain colors. Very easy to do. Just hold the wax in your hand and pull the thread over the wax while holding it to the wax under your finger. I actually prefer to add my own wax because some other companies add way too much wax and my fingers get sticky while I’m stitching. Adding my own lets me control how much wax is on the thread.

Keep in mind that this is not as nice as Tiger thread, but it works very well , comes in many more colors, and is a tiny fraction of the cost. I use 1.0 mm thread as my go to size and this works beautifully. Heck, people look at how neat and even your stiches are...they don't grab a magnifying glass to see if this thread is braided as tightly like Tiger. I have absolute confidence in this thread and I think you will as well.

As a leatherworker, I hand-stitch everything. This is a fairly decent, middle-of-the-road thread weight and works well for big jobs.The only reason I gave it three stars is because it has very little wax content. If you're a fast saddle stitcher like me, you'll find yourself threading and rethreading your needles, even 002's.

too weak. . broke easily

Lovely, soft and pliable material. Not stiff and waxy feeling like other waxed cords I tried. Perfect for beading stones. Would order again and recommend to others.

Good thread. Perfect for perpose

No me gustó. Se deshilacha. No sirve para joyería. No se puede anudar porque lis nudos se desbaratan muy fácilmente

Es un hilo hermoso, no me lo esperaba con tan hermoso color.

Work great
