LEN - smoothed "button thread" 50 m

100% linen polished (smoothed) thread with a fineness of 42 tex 3 (NeL 39.7/3, Nm 24/3) with a winding of 50 m, wound in the format of a ball with a diameter of approx. 4 cm. The ball is placed in a plastic case with a hole for passing the thread through. The plastic case protects the thread not only from dirt, but also from the effects of light, which increases its service life. Linen thread itself ages very slowly. This protection, in the form of a plastic case, makes the thread practically eternal. Button threads are modified by a polishing (smoothing) process, which consists in wetting the yarn in a special hardening agent and subsequent polishing. The result is a smooth, strong and taut linen thread. Other properties of linen threads include high strength, low elasticity, high resistance to heat and abrasion. Especially due to its high strength and resistance to abrasion, this linen thread has become popular for a variety of handicrafts at home. She is also valued among lacemakers for beading.
