The silk on these spools is Fujix Tire Silk #16 Buttonhole Twist Thread, a 3-ply twisted continuous filament silk thread of superb quality. It compares to the Kanagawa 1000 denier silk thread and the Fujix Tire Silk #16 on cards. Mainly used for hand embroidery, needlepoint, and hand stitching for quilting. Also great for beading, half-hitching, micro-macrame, cavandoli tapestry knotting, kumihimo and tassels. Colorfast with a high sheen.
12 colors available in 200 meter spools 200m (220 yd) - Thread Ø 0.25mm - Z Twist - Made in Japan
Personal note - These spools are especially designed for tayloring, but they are great for anyone wanting a larger output. According to the manufacturer it is the exact same thread as the one on the cards, but there are a few differences: No creases on the thread on spools, whereas the one on cards has fold marks. The thread on the spools feels just a tad thinner and smoother than the thread on the cards. It might be due to the spooling process compressing the thread. The color palette is a lot smaller than what's available on cards. The main advantage is of course the price. One spool is the equivalent of 10 cards for a fraction of the cost.
$19.00 per spool on special (regular price $20.00)
