Product description

Embroider three-dimensional botanical patterns with this Tonkin Jardin thread, which has a subtle golden sheen.

Tonkin thread is made in France from textured polyester and a fine strand of gold Lurex. Wrapped around the thread, the Lurex creates a consistent shimmering effect and adds a luxurious touch to the patterns. Its slight fullness gives the embroidery more presence, and its structure minimizes fraying while you work.

What can you do with this green embroidery thread?
The “Jardin” shade is an excellent medium green for leaves, stems, and botanical patterns. It can be combined with “anise” for light areas, “emerald” for more intense sections, and “fir” for shadows. The design of this dish towel embroidered with autumn leaves offers a good starting point for exploring these variations. If you’re still unfamiliar with certain technical terms, our embroidery glossary will help you better understand the different techniques.

Tonkin is also suitable for cross-stitch and can be repurposed for jewelry making. A small embroidered branch can become a delicate brooch, a pendant, or a decorative element on a textile accessory.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced creator, our tutorials and technical guides provide you with advice, tips, and explanations to help you progress and develop your own personalized projects.
