Twine is a type of string that is made of linen yarn, and sometimes also hemp. It is very strong, resistant to stretching and abrasion. Thanks to these properties, the use of twine is very wide. It is used in the tailoring industry, in the production of footwear, as well as in the production of leather goods. Sewing thread is also used by saddlers who produce equestrian accessories. There is a twine in almost every home. It is useful during housework, tying sausages, sewing and DIY. It is a material that craftsmen also like to work with during artistic work and when creating DIY products.
Advantages of twine
The shoemaker's thread has a number of advantages. These include durability and abrasion resistance. However, these are not the only properties of twine, thanks to which it is willingly used in many areas of life and industry. The twine is made entirely of natural material, making it fully biodegradable and environmentally friendly. The undoubted advantage of twine is also its natural appearance. White and gray - the colors in which it is most often found - are aesthetically appreciated by the handicraft industry. Artistic products made of twine are part of the popular interior design and arrangement trends.
Sewing thread
Twine is willingly used in the tailoring industry. It is durable enough, and at the same time thin, that it is suitable for machine sewing. The stitch created with it is very precise. Shoemaker's thread, as the name suggests, is often used by shoemakers for sewing and repairing shoes. Twine is also used to create leather products, such as leather bags, wallets and belts, once made by leatherworkers, today by specialized production plants. Sewing thread is used by both professionals and amateurs of sewing.
A mess in the office
The use of twine does not end with broadly understood tailoring and shoemaking. The thread made of linen yarn is also used in offices. It is used to bind records stored in archives. The thread is resistant to the passage of time. Its additional advantage is that it does not leave a color mark on the documents. The retention of records in companies and organizations is subject to strict guidelines. The Act specifies both the time of storage of individual categories of files and the method of their storage. Entities generating employee documentation must store files in such a way as to ensure their confidentiality, completeness and conditions that do not threaten damage or destruction. A twine in the office is the first step to meet the appropriate conditions for storing files.
Needle in handicrafts
Twine, i.e. threads made of natural linen, is often used when creating handicrafts. The aforementioned properties of the twine, such as natural appearance, biodegradability and resistance to damage, are not without significance here. The twine impregnated with wax becomes shiny. It is also available in a naturally matte version. The thread can be used for crocheting. It is used to make napkins and tablecloths, as well as fancy tea placemats. The twine is used in weaving. Using twine and looms, craftsmen create decorative fabrics, kilims and even carpets. Twine can be used as one of the decorative elements in the increasingly popular scrapbooking or decorative gift wrapping. Decorative lanterns, bookmarks, candlesticks and vases can also be made using cobbler's twine. The only limit is the imagination of the creator.
