Xiange Twist Polyester (#15/0.60mm) 60M Spool

In love with tested strength of thread

I have been using this thread for last 4 years; I use it when I make anything that needs extra strength to carry heavy weight items my first choice of thread is a Xiange thread. I’d like to recommend to all leathercrafters who strive for durability and elegance in their work. Double thumbs up!

Xiange from Mei Si thread

Been using mostly this brand for a while now. Since I found it Im very satisfied and it’ll give your projects a better more pro level look for hand stitches.

Great thread

I need a quality twisted thread option for my leather goods and I think I found a winner. Before this my go to was Tiger braided thread and still use Tiger for that look. To me twisted threads look more refined and that is a look I need for some of my products. Things I've noticed about this thread is that it is drier than Tiger thread. However it is polyester so I am not worried about abrasion issues. If anything it is a good thing because it gives me control. Sometimes I need to avoid wax at the stitch holes so a waterproofing top coat can work better. I have notices that twisted thread will twist up on me during the back stitch. Not a big deal, just have to remember to keep tension on the other side to prevent a tangle. It angles nicely, more than flat threads. Looks thinner and refined like I want. I am feeling confident to sell goods made with this thread and expect my customers to enjoy it too. The sample picture is done with an awl with 5mm spacing (I don't think you can find off the shelf stitching irons with spacing that wide). I am in the middle of another build that uses 1mm thread and didn't want to change my dividers for giving this thread a quick test. So it looks much thinner than it actually is.
