Zircon semi-waxed braid

Zircon semi-waxed braid is ideal for creating an attractive coarse decorative seam and is especially appropriate for shoes, hand crafted upholstery, leather goods and steering wheel covers. This braided thread shows high performance when you are either hand sewing or during demanding high speed machine applications, and is not hindered by uneven wax distribution.
Zircon braided thread is pliant, abrasion resistant and colour-fast for many years. Image below shows a stitch comparison of the four thicknesses available.

Zircon waxed braid

Zircon waxed braid has just the right amount of special waxed coating, enabling easy hand-plaiting and provides an ideal surface for slipknots such as in neckwear. Zircon polyester braided thread can be melted, weaved or plaited to form thicker braids. Use Zircon waxed polyester braid with confidence to create quality hand-made or machine-made products.

In New Zealand we have many manufacturers who use polyester braided thread for greenstone jade [Pounamu] and bone carving souvenir necklaces because of it's strength, feel against the skin and vibrant colour range as shown below. Also available in four thicknesses, as seen previously in the stitch comparison illustration.
