Definitely Martin's idea. But the more I think about it the more I like it. Not just for leatherworking, but for woodworking and metal working and also sewing.

I have been searching for about two years for button thread. About the thickness of three normal threads, but if you use three threads all you get is twisting and knotting and a great big tangled mess. I found a place in Swaffham. The old boy searched and came up with the last reel - it still had the original price 1/-2d. One shilling and two pence or about six pence in today's money! I need a new supplier.
