We've been collecting (and appreciating) chunky wooden spools of heavy duty 'button and carpet' utility thread for as long as we've been collecting anything (except agates -- *that* hunt-and-gather obsession goes all the way back to grade school -- it wasn't a rare thing to see this kid licking pea gravel during recess).

But back to thread: this stuff was made back when things were made to *actually* be useful. Thread that you can't snap with your hands? Yep. Good for attaching buttons and securing carpet, making rugs, even waxing as a bookbinding thread or leather working supply... So. Many. Options.

Everything in this listing is 100% cotton unless otherwise specified, though we do have a couple of backups inventoried: we'd rather hook you up than leave you hanging when the cotton runs low.

Whether you've got a specific repair or you just want to be ready when that time comes, we've got you covered with this '5 yards' listing. Pennies are from heaven and not included -- but if you need a good needle or 5, check out our other listings.

    This is climate-competent commerce, and we talk a bit more about each of these strategies on our 'official' shipping policy page:

    The Fine Print 

  • Proactive Satisfaction + Refunds

    We have adopted a 'generally generous' approach to fulfilling many of our product listings, as sending a wee bit extra can avoid costly errors & 'fix it' shipments (besides, we find most folks appreciate the occasional freebie).

    .

    That said, if you would prefer to avoid the extras, we will gladly rightsize or downsize your order on request (product price would remain the same because more labor + less product = wash). If you prefer this option, please include a detailed order note to specify the quantity you wish to recieve (i.e. 'please send precise count of 7 for XYZ product').

    .

    As a rule, we discourage returns - but we also don't abide crappy customer experiences. To initiate issue resolution in the event that we miss the boat with your order (gaps happen!), head to our refund policy page (linked here - and at the bottom of any page) to get started.
