This is a quick run through of how I hand roll linen threads the traditional way for hand sewing the shoes I make. By making a thread in this way, the two ends are the finest parts of the thread and you are able to make small holes in the leather and pull relatively large threads through them, making water tight seams. All of my sewing is by hand, whether I'm doing fine 2 ply sewing on the uppers (known as 'Closing') through to rolling, and using, 14 - 16 ply threads for sewing the insole, upper and welt together (known as 'Inseaming').
