types of linen thread
Hawkdancer:
Maybe not the thread, but I've seen a lot of puppy chews! That one got rescued just in the nick of time! (lol)

The spools look like what I have so I would assume it is Barbour thread. Do a break test
AndrewS:
I have good experience with yarn from Hoogen and from Gruschwitz.
Both yarn manufacturers are available in shoemaker's supplies or saddler's supplies (at least in Europe).
The following varieties have worked: 18/3, 18/6, 20/3, 20/6.
These types are also available pre-waxed, what I prefer.
