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
