Product description

Bring your botanical patterns to life with this emerald-green Tonkin yarn, featuring a subtle texture and golden flecks.

Made in France, Tonkin thread combines textured polyester with a fine strand of gold Lurex wrapped around the thread. This design offers a slight volume, an elegant sheen, and good durability. It also has the advantage of not fraying like some threads with multiple metallized strands, which makes embroidery more enjoyable.

How to use embroidery thread?
Emerald green is particularly well-suited for foliage, botanical patterns, and high-contrast compositions. Pair it with garden green, anise, and pine to create multiple shades of green, or add bright pink for a more contemporary palette. The pattern of this leaf-embroidered dish towel can be reimagined using these shades. A 20-cm embroidery hoop will help keep your fabric taut while you work.

Beyond traditional embroidery and cross-stitch, use this Tonkin thread in embroidered jewelry. Sketch a small leaf onto a rigid base, add a few beads, and transform the pattern into a brooch or pendant. The golden sheen will instantly add a luminous finish.

Our tutorials and technical guides are designed to support both beginners and experienced creators with tips, tricks, and explanations about different stitches and techniques.
