Thread is used along with a needle to make armour out of leather, dragon leather and cured yak-hide. Each thread spool has 5 uses before it is consumed. A "use" means an action performed, not number of leathers used (e.g. making vambraces, which use 1 hide each, consumes thread at the same rate as making chaps, which use 2 hides each).
After completion of Death on the Isle, a Costume needle can be used for crafting without needing thread.
