How thick is this thread and is it suitable for hand sewing leather? I usually use between 0.5mm and 1mm thick thread but I cant see thickness quoted

Hi there, I'm afraid we would be unable to advise of the specific thickness as we do not have this information. However, it should be suitable for leather as Gutermann linen sewing thread is an exceptionally strong and non tear natural fibre thread for sewing by hand. It is ideal for sewing on buttons and for sewing strong and heavy fabrics such as rucksacks, bags and tents. Perfect for any project where strength is required.

What size needle do i need for this thread?

Use a chenille needle, they have big eyes but are sharp and come in several sizes.
