You might peruse Tanwystal's (sp) archeological sewing article...it might give you ideas.
If you use either wool or linen...make sure that it's strong enough. If it is specifically embroidery/crewel thread...it may not be strong enough. I would also stay away from weft thread...and use warp thread!
To cut down on pilling and fraying of wool thread...use bee's wax or even starch...

A have a question for people who sew a lot and judge A&S stuff. If I
make a linen or wool garment and enter it into an A&S competition, what
type of sewing thread should I use to hold the pieces of fabric together?
I have not found wool or linen sewing thread. I have embroidery floss
that is linen or wool, but not sewing thread. Does it exist and where do
you get it? Or should I just use the highest quality cotton thread I can
find?
