Pointe shoe sewing thread

[AdageKitty]

Good morning everyone.

 

This is probably a very trivial question but might anyone know where I can buy the same type of ballet/pointe shoe thread that comes in one those little pink Bloch sewing kits?

I know that any type of thread would usually do, but I absolutely love the quality and thickness of the thread that comes in that little magic box!

 

TIA x

I haven't used the bloch thread,  but I bought a reel/ball of tendu pointe shoe thread on Ebay to darn the tips. X

Thanks for the tip!

Also had the tendu thread.... dance dhops often sell it... a largish ‘ball’ so lasts ages!

my DD uses that to sew in ribbons/elastics big prefers wool to darn the outline around platform of box....

I worried this would be sloppy but apparently not.... think just bought a ball of ‘baby pink baby wool’!?Again, lasted ages. Wool in so many colours you’ll find a perfect match for shoes!
