40/2 Weight is is our thin strand of Linen. It is a 2 ply thread. When I want my primitive stitches to be less then 1/4" I use this weight |
30/3 Weight is our medium strand of linen. It is a 3ply thread. When I want my primitive stitches to be larger then 1/4" I use this weight. It is the best weight to use when sewing on buttons which leave a tie on the front side of the button. It will also tie a very nice bow. |
16/2 Weight is the thickest strand of linen. It makes great bows and has been very popular with Tole Painters. I use it when I want a very large primitive stitch, 1/2" - 3/4". I have used it to tie on larger buttons. The thickness of this thread is equivalent to about 5 strands of embroidery floss. This is a two ply thread. |
