371 thread, Red opal

A red core thread wrapped with a fine white opal filament for goldwork and embroidery projects. This red opal 371 thread is finer than Japanese thread and more like a fine passing thread.

To use, couch down with a strong sewing thread at even intervals (about every 2-3mm) in pairs. The ends will need to be 'plunged' through to the back and finished off (see goldwork video 4, here).

This item is for 2 x 3m lengths (allows you to couch over two strands together). Please note there is no gold content in this product.

Also available in other colours!
