Recommended needles:
The needle size depends on the number of individual threads used

  • Embroidery needle 1-10
  • Tapestry needle 18-28
  • Ballpoint Embroidery Needle 3-7
  • Wool darning needle 18

TIP:
Always choose a needle that is slightly too large, this protects the sensitive thread
Thread length should not be longer than 25 cm

  • Larger insertion hole
  • Threads do not rub so strongly against the embroidery base

General information

  • 18 thread
  • divisible
  • Base material: metallized bouclette thread
  • with reinforcing thread
  • much easier to process than the base material!
  • Single thread can be used as a supplementary thread with other threads (e.g. wool)
  • from 4 threads it can be processed without the addition of another thread
  • great “wipe-clean” effect (caused by the strong refraction of light)
  • Use carefully, otherwise the glitter effect will overwhelm adjacent surfaces
  • also suitable as a laying thread: Twist threads strongly beforehand
  • Can be ruched by tightening one or more threads
  • Use short working thread: max. 25cm
  • Take a needle one size larger than would actually be necessary
