Kanagawa Anaito 100% Silk Filament Thread is a 3 ply twisted continuous silk thread of the highest quality worldwide. Also known as YLI 1000 Denier Silk Thread, or KNK 100% Pure Filament Silk Thread.
Anaito means buttonhole twist thread in Japanese. 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.

Personal note - I love this thread. I do all kind of things with it. I ply it into a larger thread for beading and wrapping. I make tassels with it. 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 many other silk brands. The color range is great, especially now with the addition of the Fujix Tire Silk Buttonhole Twist Thread!
