Au Chinois Tonkin Embroidery Thread - Hazelnut - Gold (1005) x 10 m

Add depth to your designs with this hazelnut-colored Tonkin thread, accented with fine golden flecks.

Made in France, Tonkin Noisette combines textured polyester with a fine strand of gold Lurex that adds sparkle to the stitches. Its slight thickness gives it more presence on the fabric, and its cabled structure prevents the thread from fraying during embroidery.

What can you do with this Au Chinois embroidery thread?
This warm shade is perfect for botanical patterns and fall color palettes. Pair it with sand, brown, orange, and garnet to create multiple layers of color. The leaves on this embroidered dish towel, for example, can be reimagined using these shades. For precise work, use Bohin embroidery needles.

Tonkin thread can also be used for cross-stitch or to create jewelry. A hazelnut-and-gold pattern can become a nature-inspired brooch, a fabric pendant, or a small element to pair with beads and chains. For a more contemporary color palette, add turquoise or pink.

Our tutorials and technical guides are designed to assist both beginners and experienced creators. You’ll find advice, tips, and explanations to help you master stitches, choose the right materials, and design creations that go beyond traditional embroidery.
