Product description

Create rich, textured foliage with this pine-green Tonkin yarn accented with flecks of gold.

Made in France, this Tonkin thread combines a textured pine-green polyester with a fine strand of gold Lurex. Its slight fullness gives it a beautiful presence on the fabric, while its cabled structure prevents fraying during use. It thus offers a lustrous finish while remaining pleasant to embroider with.

How to use this embroidery thread?
This dark shade is perfect for outlining the shaded areas of foliage or creating deep botanical patterns. Pair it with Jardin, Émeraude, and Anis to achieve multiple shades of green. You can adapt the patterns on this leaf-embroidered dish towel to this color palette.

Pine green also works well in embroidered jewelry. A small leaf or botanical pattern can become the centerpiece of a brooch or pendant, perhaps paired with green or gold beads.

Our tutorials and technical guides are designed for both beginners and experienced creators, offering advice, tips, and explanations to help you master different techniques, choose colors, and develop your own projects.
