What is Ritza Tiger Thread?
Ritza Tiger Thread is a high-quality, flat-braided polyester thread made in Germany. It's favoured by leathercrafters for its strength, durability, and smooth waxed finish.
What sizes does it come in?
Common sizes include 0.6mm, which is ideal for finer leatherwork like wallets and watch straps. The 0.8mm thread is a great all-rounder. The 1.0mm size is popular for belts and bags, while 1.2mm is typically used for heavy-duty projects.
Is it already waxed?
Yes, Ritza Tiger Thread comes pre-waxed. The consistent wax coating makes hand stitching smoother and more controlled.
Do I need to wax it more?
No, extra waxing isn’t usually necessary. If you prefer a tackier feel, you can lightly add wax – but it’s good to go straight from the spool.
Can I use it in a sewing machine?
Not recommended. It’s a hand-stitching thread – flat, strong, and waxed – which doesn't feed smoothly through most domestic or industrial machines.
What needle size should I use?
Recommended: John James Saddler & Harness
0.6mm Size #004
0.8mm Size #001
1.0mm Size #18 (1/0)
1.2mm Size #17 (2/0)
How do I store it?
Keep it in a dry, dust-free space, away from direct sunlight. A thread spool box or a simple zip-lock bag works well.
Can I burn the ends?
Yes. Trim your thread and carefully melt the end with a lighter or thread burner. Press it flat while still warm for a tidy finish.
Do you have a blog for how-tos, videos and craft hacks?
Yes! check out our Mollies Blog.
