Selecting a thread is as essential when sewing as picking the fabric. Now, this is where using comes into play! Promaker is pleased to provide natural linen thread which is durable, practical and suitable for all your needs sewing project. Here are some of the reasons that make linen thread a unique choice and how it is going to help you with whatever you have planned for sewing.
Linen thread is derived from the flax plant which naturally occurs in cooler climates across the globe. The thread is quite strong and lasts for a very long time, this fiber comes from this plant known as a silk cotton tree. Linen thread will give, but it can take a strong tug in the opposite direction without breaking—unlike some of its other-thread cousins. This makes it best suited for heavy fabrics such as canvas, denim, and leather. These are heavy duty materials, you need some strong thread to keep them together.
But linen thread is not just heavy duty sewing. It is also ideal for lightweight textiles like silk and chiffon. If these fabrics are too delicate, then you will have to use a thread that will not hurt them. Linen is made of natural fibers, so the linen thread is smooth and soft enough that it will not cut or destroy the more delicate materials where synthetic threads may. This makes it a top option for creating garments or any type of care apparel. Linen thread also works great for embroidery. Embroidery requires sewing over the same place many times, so an embroidery linen thread will last through repeated stitching. It will not fuzz nor fray, which keeps your work neat and tidy.
One of the things that sewists absolutely love about linen thread is its highly individual appearance. It gives a rustic, natural feel that many crafters appreciate; the thread has somewhat more of a matte finish. It also offers a variety of colors. There are earthy colors such as brown, green etc. and bright and dark colors like red and blue etc. The range is broad enough for you to easily find a shade that works with the fabric on hand, whether it be something more traditional or a creative modern craft. It is nice to use for the final look of your project.

Also, the linen thread is environment friendly. It comes from a resource that replenishes itself, as in plants. Linen is also 100% biodegradable so over time, it breaks down naturally which is perfect for environmentally conscious crafters.
