Description

Established in 1948, Utica Thread supplies this premium Silke Polyamide Waxed Skein, a long-standing favorite among traditional tailors and dressmakers. This 2-ply waxed nylon thread serves as a strong, resilient replacement for silk in hand sewing. Because it is pre-waxed, there is no need to condition the thread with extra beeswax or iron it before use. It features a gorgeous, soft textured finish, though care should be taken against heavy rubbing or hitching due to its fine filaments.
