bookbinding thread?
Reply Quote

Hi to all. I just have one question, hope someone can help!. I live in Argentina, and I´m a bookbinder. Quite some time ago I used to buy Irish Linen Threads from a supplier. I need to re-supply, but he´s not importing anymore, so I´m trying to find out who produces this kind of thread.

Every spool had a label that said "barbor - irish linen thread - lisburn", and that was it. After some internet browsing I got here...hoping someone could tell me where to get them? I read Coats bought Barbour, but I didn´t find a "bookbinding thread" in it´s website.

Does anyone know if I can use the same threads you use for other crafts?

Thanks a lot!

Here is the address of a lacemaking firm in England whom I have dealt with over the years. They are a good reliable firm and post goods worldwide. Their address is DJ Hornsby, 25 Manwood Avenue, Canterbury, Kent CT2 7AH. Their email address is hornsbylace@compuserve.com and I know some lace is worked in linen thread and there may be thickness that would suit your requirements. Incidentally when I cleared out my mother's workbox I found some Barbours carpet mending linen thread which I kept just in case!
