Therefore, the final thread size will vary depending on this (i.e. 3 threads of 2mm each vs. 0.5mm each).<br /><br />Also, for stitching the outsole, would you suggest a coloured hemp thread? Or just dye the raw hemp thread?<br /><br />ThanksJMendnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8046771237050008716.post-52537736694817881302014-11-12T11:30:53.085+00:002014-11-12T11:30:53.085+00:00PS C.J, are you new to the blog?

If the point is not pointy enough: carefully skive it down. Don't have access to animal sinew? Try hog casings for making sausage. When dry: lightly oil with oil from your face, or veg oil. Passes through awl holes perfect.C.J.
