Some Restrictions

Fil Au Chinois Lin Cable, Waxed Linen Thread - 100% Corded Waxed Linen - Light Green

Imported from France, Lin Cable is twisted linen that is assembled a second time, moistened, lightly waxed, and re-twisted. This moistening prevents the linen fibers from distorting. Cabling increases the resistance, giving a nicely rounded thread generally used for hand sewing luxury leather and canvas goods.

Length & Thickness : 

  • 832: 0.43mm thread diameter = 375 meter spool (410 yards)
  • 632: 0.51mm thread diameter = 285 meter spool (312 yards)
  • 532: 0.57mm thread diameter = 250 meter spool (274 yards)

Harness Needles vs. Glovers Needles

  • Harness needles have a rounded tip. More often used on leather where holes are pre-made with pricking irons or punches.
  • Glovers needles have a sharpened tip. More often used with canvas or fabric where pre-made holes are not needed. Can be used on leather but will take more force to pierce through the leather.

I’m sure it’s good thread but it does not really work well with any of the John James needle sizes for easy threading. Sorry i purchased such expensive thread doubt it gets used.

Hi Bernie. Thank you for your order and for taking the time to complete this review. I'm sorry that the Fil Au Chinois thread you ordered is not working with your John James needles. We carry leather needles from CS Osborne and for the weight thread you ordered the 517-2 Harness or Glovers needles should work well. They are relatively inexpensive for a 5 pack. I hope you might consider these needles to get the best usage from your thread. Thanks again, Bernie for your feedback. It is very much appreciated. If there is anything else we can assist with, please do not hesitate to call or e-mail us. The Buckleguy Team
