Gütermann Metallic Thread Set - 7 Spools of 50m

The shimmer that completely transforms a finished project. This set brings together seven spools of Gütermann metallic effect thread in the most versatile range: the three classic metals (gold, silver, and copper) plus four luminous shades in fuchsia, pink, violet, and turquoise. These are the go-to colors for finishing embroidery, outlining a patchwork motif, adding relief to decorative topstitching, or adding sparkling details to a knitted or crocheted garment.

It is the kind of thread you don't use every day, but which is exactly what you need when a special project comes along, and buying it as a set makes sense for that very reason: you have the complete palette sorted and aren't left half-finished searching for a specific shade. With the holiday season just around the corner, it is also the natural assortment for ornaments, stockings, embroidered napkins, and everything else that calls for a festive finish.

Technically, it is a 70% polyamide and 30% polyester thread, a combination that gives it real shine without becoming brittle, and it is comfortable to use both by machine and by hand. It is machine washable up to 30°C, tumble-dry safe, and can be ironed on a low setting up to 110°C, so whatever you sew with it can be used and washed normally.

A tip for working with it: metallic threads require a large-eye needle, preferably a Metafil or embroidery needle, and it is advisable to lower the upper tension and the machine speed slightly. With that small adjustment, it sews without skipping or breaking.
