Also, always use a natural cotton thread no matter what brand or color. Certain synthetics, like polyester have too much stretch and can easily wrap too tightly around the tenon, causing distortions to the bore and other problems.
I would recommend taking it to a shop if you need to rewrap the entire tenon, as opposed to just adding a little to snug it up (which you can easily do yourself). Use any standard paraffin wax to seal and lubricate the thread and try to tie a little knot around existing thread to finish it off, so you don't have a piece unraveling on you!
