Description
Want to add some sparkle to your embroidery project? Au Ver A Soie’s soft metallic braids are the easiest metallic threads we’ve ever found to work with. They pass through fabric smoothly without needing a conditioner and they resist twisting, knotting, or fraying.
These threads look beautiful used in outlines and borders, and can be an effective alternative to real metal goldwork threads. Also great for edging and finishing work.
Can be worked by hand in embroidery, cross-stitch, or needlepoint. Can also be used in a sewing machine.
Au Ver A Soie metallic braids come in 4 weights and dozens of colors:
- Size 4 (4 braided strands): 0.20mm diameter, about the size of 1 strand of DMC embroidery floss. Works well on 18-count aida in cross-stitch designs.
- Size 8 (8 braided strands): 0.40mm diameter, about the size of 2 strands of DMC embroidery floss. Works well on 14-count aida in cross-stitch designs.
- Size 12 (12 braided strands): 0.60mm diameter, about the size of 4 strands of DMC embroidery floss. Works well on 11-count aida or needlepoint canvas between 14 and 18-count.
- Size 16 (16 braided strands): 0.80mm diameter, slightly thicker than 6 strands of DMC embroidery floss. Works well on 13- and 14-count needlepoint canvas.
