Natural Silk Buttonhole Twist, #136

Made in Japan

This is available in about 22 yd. (20 m.) card and in many colors. Although the modern term for this is button hole twist many feel that quilter's thread is closer to the weight mostly seen on extant 18th century garments. This thread has the tightest twist and is specifically designed for hand sewing buttonholes so there is no need to wax buttonhole twist before using. Although silk buttonhole twist is made for buttonholes the thread is more coarse than that found on most original 18th century garments.
