If honored with the vendor at which one is purchasing the thread, it's around 71s profit selling two of them to a vendor (assuming no cost for the leather); not talking revenue.  They vendor for a little over 44s each.  If you can get stacks of thick leather in the AH for 70s or less, you're in the black while getting one attempt at a skill-up per 5 leather.

I've come across stacks in the AH for 50s each and just went nuts buying them all out, then did a "Create All" while going afk for a bit.  Easy money, and a quick announcement that they're for sale at 65s each will bring at least one or two customers.

Oh, okay. You'd already factored the thread cost into your profit value there. I didn't know they vendored for 44 silver. Anyway, that's useful information. Most of the other professions sometimes have something you can skill up on for marginal profit or at least without losing money.
