Product description

Create soft, luminous details with this mauve Tonkin yarn, made of textured polyester and gold Lurex.

The mauve shade of this Tonkin thread features a fine strand of gold Lurex woven directly into its structure. Made in France from textured polyester, it has a slight fullness that makes the stitches stand out and creates highly visible embroidery. Its design also prevents fraying while you work, making it easier to make repeated passes through the fabric.

What can you do with this embroidery thread?
This mauve pairs particularly well with purple, pink, white, or light blue. Use it for small flowers, abstract details, or patterns on a garment, and explore different textures with our guide to basic embroidery stitches. If you’d like to combine thread and beads, check out our world of beaded embroidery, cross-stitch, and canvas.

Its sheen also makes it perfect for creating small pieces of embroidered jewelry. A mauve and gold pattern can become the centerpiece of a brooch, a fabric pendant, or a pair of earrings—perhaps accented with a few beads.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced designer, you’ll find advice, tips, and explanations in our tutorials and technical guides to help you choose your stitches, adapt your materials, and develop your own projects.
