Create luminous, silky embroidery with this black Au Chinois rayon embroidery thread.
Prized for its luster and softness, Au Chinois Rayonne No. 40 embroidery thread is ideal for creating decorative hand-embroidery. It offers a lustrous finish that highlights every stitch. Its deep black color adds elegance and contrast to both light and dark fabrics.
Its “floche” twist means the strands are loosely twisted. This characteristic gives it great flexibility, a pleasant feel, and a fluid drape—perfect for decorative projects. With little elasticity, it is easy to work with by hand and has properties similar to those of cotton thread, while offering a more pronounced sheen.
What can you do with this black embroidery thread?
This thread is particularly well-suited for personalizing brooches and clothing, or for creating embroidered art pieces. Use it to create floral patterns, monograms, illustrations, or refined details that catch the light. However, due to its composition and structure, it is intended for hand embroidery. Using it on an embroidery machine is not recommended, as the thread may tend to fray as it passes through the machine’s mechanism.
