Description
Overview
MeiSi Linen is a waxed linen thread developed for makers who want the natural character of linen in a strong, reliable and visually clean form. It is made from 100% linen in a 3-ply twisted round construction and is best presented as the classic waxed linen option within the range.
What makes it different
This line represents the more traditional MeiSi linen character. Compared with MeiSi Super Fine, it should be understood as a classic waxed linen thread with a natural feel, clear stitch definition and a slightly more straightforward material character while still remaining smooth, refined and well suited to high-quality leatherwork.
Handling and finish
MeiSi Linen is best presented as round, smooth and comfortable to work with over long stitching sessions. The waxed finish supports controlled handling, while the linen construction gives the thread the natural look and tactile quality many makers specifically want in fine leather goods.
Recommended use
This line is especially well suited to hand sewing high-quality leather goods, including straps, wallets, bags, belts and other projects where a natural linen seam is part of the desired result. It is a strong choice for makers who want classic waxed linen character rather than a more technical polyester feel.
Available sizes
The line is offered in four diameters: M30 (0.35 mm), M40 (0.45 mm), M50 (0.55 mm) and M60 (0.65 mm). Spool lengths are listed as follows: M30 — 150 m, M40 — 90 m, M50 — 80 m and M60 — 50 m. The colour range includes 68 colours.
Testing note
Available product documentation for the related waxed linen thread family includes colour fastness and tensile testing data.
