Product description

Add dimension to your embroidery with this purple Tonkin thread—a textured polyester thread with a hint of gold shimmer.

This Tonkin thread, made in France, stands out for its composition of textured polyester wrapped with a fine strand of gold Lurex. This adds a shimmering effect without turning the thread into a metallic thread that’s difficult to work with. Its slight fullness gives it a beautiful presence on the fabric, and its structure minimizes fraying during embroidery, resulting in more even stitches and a comfortable embroidery experience.

What can you do with this embroidery thread?
The purple shade works equally well for floral patterns and more graphic creations. Pair it with mauve, pink, and blue to create a monochromatic palette, or let it pop with yellow and green. If you’d like to vary your effects, our guide to basic embroidery stitches will help you choose the right stitch for your pattern. A 20-cm embroidery hoop will keep your fabric properly taut while you work.

This thread can be used for cross-stitch, traditional embroidery, and even to personalize textile jewelry. Imagine a small embroidered flower incorporated into a brooch or pendant, or a few purple and gold stitches on an accessory.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced designer, our tutorials and technical guides offer tips and advice to help you understand techniques, choose your supplies, and develop new ideas.
