I made this quick video today not only because I was curious, but because there may be some people on here that find this stuff interesting. I break down linen and ramie thread, literally, so that we can compare fibre length. If you don't have time to watch it, basically, the linen thread has an average fibre length of 25-35 mm with the longest I found being 65 mm and the Ramie has an average thread length of 120 mm and the longest I found was 165 mm. That doesn't necessarily mean ramie is better, as the cabling of the lin cable is more effective and advanced, with three cores comprising two tightly wound cores in each of those cores. The ramie on the other hand has three cores but each core was less tightly wound and only the one core.

Thank you @Martin CarswelI for the review.
@Leathercraft Masterclass what size thread do you recommend for the leather thickness?
