This is a polyester twine with a round construction used for hand sewing. We recommend a 3-ply twine doubled through the eye of a #18 hand-sewing needle for hand sewing a seam. This twine is not pre-waxed, be sure to order wax. Twine should be well waxed—this greatly increases its resistance to the elements and reduces the chafe involved in the sewing process.

Please Note: For sewing rings, we recommend using a heavier twine, like a 5-ply or 7-ply.
