Another excellent source of linen thread and cord is Colophon Book
Arts <URL:http://www.colophonbookarts.com/binding.html>. They have a
very nice sample card they can send you, and their Colophon Best
Blake 18-5-18/8 is soft, with little or no sizing and has many uses,
including pulling off two or three strands as needed for sewing
textblocks.
