Silk Thread - Kanagawa Hand Embroidery 1000 Denier Thread

BACK TO ALL SILKS > KANAGAWA 1000 DENIER SILK EMDROIDERY THREAD

The Kanagawa 1000 denier is a 3 ply twisted continuous filament silk thread of the highest quality. It also known as YLI 1000 denier silk or KNK 100% pure filament silk thread for top stitching. Although designed mainly for hand embroidery, needlepoint, and hand stitching for quilting, this silk thread is also great for beading, half-hitching, micro-macrame and cavandoli tapestry knotting. It is a colorfast thread with a super high sheen. The colors with the new labels are newly stocked colors. The colors with LE are limited to stock on hand > More

Personal note :: I love this thread. I ply it into a larger thread for beading and wrapping. I also use it for half hitching in free-form cavandoli and micro-macrame in combination with nylon #18 and C-Lon Bead Cord. It has a lovely feel and sheen. The filaments are sturdy and well plied. It does well with manipulation unlike some other silks. The color range is great, especially now with the addition of the Fujix Tire Silk!
