linen thread
Woven plant strand
Linen thread is thread spun from flax fibers, prized for its strength and durability.
It's traditionally used for bookbinding, leatherwork, embroidery, and sewing buttons on heavy fabrics where cotton thread might break: She stitched the binding with waxed linen thread.
Linen thread softens with use but holds knots well.
