Painters Threads Silk Ribbon 4mm
Painters Threads is renowned for its beautifully hand dyed threads and ribbons, each featuring distinctive colour variations. Because every thread is dyed by hand, slight differences in shade and tone naturally occur, making every piece of silk ribbon truly unique. These subtle colour transitions add depth, character and an artisanal touch to embroidery and other textile projects.
Painters Threads Metallics Twist consists of 18 fine metallic strands twisted together and then hand dyed in the signature Painters Threads colourways. The thread can be used as a complete twist for a bold metallic effect, or easily separated and combined with other embroidery threads to add a subtle touch of shimmer.
This metallic thread is also used by Beth Upstill, author of Garden of Emboidered Bugs, to add a subtle shimmer and extra dimension to the wings of embroidered insects. It is equally beautiful for Crazy Quilting and decorative embroidery whenever a project calls for a unique sparkling accent.
