Product description

Add texture to your patterns with this brown Tonkin polyester thread, which features a golden sheen.

This Tonkin thread, made in France, combines a textured polyester base with a fine strand of gold Lurex. The thread thus has a slight fullness that accentuates the stitches and a sheen that is visible enough to add dimension to the piece. Its structure also helps prevent fraying during embroidery.

What can you do with this embroidery thread?
Brown is an excellent color for drawing branches, stems, outlines, or shaded areas. Mix it with hazelnut, orange, and garnet to create an autumnal composition inspired by this dish towel embroidered with leaf patterns. For certain brooch or accessory projects, scraps of black felt can serve as a base or finishing touch.

Beyond textile projects, use this thread to create embroidered elements that can be turned into jewelry. A brown and gold geometric or botanical pattern can be paired with glass beads or gemstones to create a unique brooch or pendant.

Both beginners and experienced crafters can find advice, tips, and explanations about different stitches, materials, and finishing techniques in our tutorials and technical guides.
