Description
Overview
XIANGE Braid is a waxed polyester thread developed for durable stitching with a compact braided structure and a round thread profile. Built in a 9-strand braided construction, it offers a denser, more structured character than classic twisted polyester thread and is well suited to leathercraft and other demanding stitched work.
What makes it different
The defining feature of this line is its braided construction. Compared with twisted thread, XIANGE Braid presents a more compact and structured feel in use, with a clear braided character that many makers prefer for strong, controlled stitching and a more technical thread surface.
Handling and finish
XIANGE Braid is best presented as smooth, composed and abrasion-resistant in use. Its waxed braided structure supports a stable feel during stitching while maintaining the durability expected from polyester in hard-wearing applications.
Recommended use
This line is well suited to leathercraft, shoes, straps, saddlery, harness work, athletic equipment, automotive interior applications and other projects that call for a strong waxed polyester thread with a compact braided structure.
Available sizes
The line is offered in two diameters: M40 (0.45 mm) and M50 (0.55 mm). Spool lengths are listed as follows: M40 — 60 m and M50 — 50 m. The colour range includes 48 colours.
