432 Cable waxed linen thread Fil Au Chinois - 200m spools

432 Waxed cable linen thread Fil Au Chinois, 200m spools for leatherwork, jewellery, and reed making

The n°432 Fil Au Chinois waxed cable linen thread has a diametre of 0.63 mm. Each spool contains 50 grammes, about 200 metres of thread. These threads are waxed, meaning they go through a starch and beeswax bath. This process makes the thread smooth and easy sliding, while also giving it a relative stiffness.

Among its unexpected uses, some wind instrument players use this thread to craft or repair reeds for oboes, saxophones, and bassoons. As one conductor remarked, “Mozart owes a little to waxed cable linen!”
