Vintage R&C Waxed Linen Thread #80 - White
For generations, waxed linen thread has been the gold standard for strong, dependable hand sewing. These petite capsules of vintage French linen thread are as useful today as they were when they were first made, combining beautiful presentation with exceptional craftsmanship.
Produced by R&C (Rogez & Cie.) in Lille, France, this No. 80 waxed linen thread was spun for fine, durable hand stitching. The linen fibers are lightly waxed to reduce tangling and fraying while allowing the thread to glide smoothly through fabric and leather. It is ideal for leatherwork, bookbinding, visible mending, denim repair, canvas projects, hand quilting, and other traditional hand sewing techniques.
Beautifully packaged in the company's distinctive paper capsules, these unused deadstock threads have been carefully stored for decades and remain clean, ready to use, or perfect for display alongside a collection of vintage sewing notions. Rogez & Cie. was one of France's respected linen thread manufacturers, and these capsules were produced in the same long tradition of fine French linen threads that includes makers such as Fil Au Chinois.
