481 Fuchsia Trebizond Silk Thread

A glossy, lustrous, shimmery 3 ply filament silk designed and manufactured to cover tent stitch on 18 mesh canvas. If you say the word "silk" to the non-embroiderer this is what they think it should look like.
Excellent choice for a beginning needlepointer as it is gratifying to see how pretty even basketweave stitch looks. Size is between a #3 and #5 Pearl cotton.

Tips:

• Before stitching, pinch the thread at the beginning, and pull it through your fingers. This relaxes both you and the thread
• To prevent untwisting, make sure the eye of the needle is consistently facing you as you stitch
• Plies can be separated and recombined to produce a "watery" effect in satin stitches

Can be used as is on 13 or 18 mesh canvas.

Permanently marked spool means you always know what colour you have.
