Each spool contains 76 yards (70 meters) of 0.55mm round thread made from three-ply 630D polyester; the result is a stiff, tidy thread that resists fraying and holds knots cleanly. The assortment of neutral tones lets you match seams or create tonal accents without overpowering handmade pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this thread perform on leather and heavy fabrics?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe KIVISIN wax permeates the fibres rather than simply coating the surface, producing a strand that slides through dense materials with minimal fuzz and strong wear resistance. Because the cord is compact and slightly tacky, it stays in place in saddle stitches and heavy seams, reducing slippage and loose stitches over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.55mm diameter fits common leather needles and heavy-duty hand sewing techniques\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBonded 3-ply 630D polyester for high tensile strength and abrasion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWax treatment penetrates the fibre for smoother stitching and less fray\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eColourfast and water-resistant for outdoor and indoor leather goods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use this thread for jewellery, macramé and delicate projects?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the thin but sturdy 0.55mm cord is thin enough for micro-macramé, beading, and fine braiding while keeping shape and knot security. Its slight stiffness helps maintain neat knots and crisp patterns, though its non-elastic nature means it won’t stretch when tensioned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIdeal for micro-knotting, friendship bracelets and detailed macramé patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks well with beads and small hardware without excessive bulk\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupplied needles included for handwork, one sized for this thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSticky-wax finish promotes secure knots and long-lasting tension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat should I know about handling, finishing and maintenance?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cord is intentionally compact and slightly stiff; if a spool feels wax-heavy, a short application of heat or regular wear will reduce surface wax.
