Crawford Waxed Linen Thread

An update on Crawford Waxed Linen Thread

After nearly 6 years supplying my fellow bookbinders and other craft makers with colourful Crawford Waxed Linen Thread, I regret I no longer offer it for sale.

I originally started selling thread because I was ordering whole spools for my own bookbinding business and, given how hard it is to find in many countries, I wanted to offer affordable smaller quantities to other bookbinders and crafters in the UK, Europe and beyond.

Unfortunately, the cost of keeping sufficient stock to keep my linen thread customers supplied has become too great a risk in the current economic climate.

Are you still making books with this thread?

Yes! Customers wishing to order a bespoke hand bound book from me will still have the widest choice of linen binding thread colours to choose from, it's just that I'm not offering the thread for sale by itself anymore.

It has been a real joy selling this thread to you over the years, learning about your creative practices and seeing your projects. I wish you all the best and thank you for buying linen thread from me these past 6 years.
