Product description

Add freshness and texture to your creations with this anise-colored Tonkin thread, embellished with a fine gold thread.

Made in France, Tonkin thread is composed of textured polyester wrapped around a fine strand of gold Lurex. This structure gives it a slight thickness and a striking visual presence while remaining easy to work with. Unlike some metallic threads, it remains intact and does not fray during embroidery.

How to use this embroidery thread?
The anise shade is perfect for creating fresh foliage, springtime details, or vibrant graphic patterns. Pair it with garden green, pine green, or emerald green to create a botanical color gradient. A design inspired by this leaf-embroidered dish towel can be reimagined in a brighter color palette. For a larger work surface, a 30-cm embroidery hoop makes it easier to secure the fabric.

Anise green also lends itself well to jewelry making. Embroider small leaves onto a rigid base, pair them with beads or sequins, and turn them into a pendant or brooch. The subtle golden sheen of Lurex adds a luminous finish without using an entirely metallic thread.

Our tutorials and technical guides support both beginners and experienced designers with tips, tricks, and explanations to help you understand the different stitches and experiment with new combinations.
