TWELVE SPOOLS of assorted metallic colors. Great value. High quality hand embroidery threads for lunéville or tambour beading and embroidery. From the maker: "Our Fil Au Chinois n°40 metallized thread is for hand or machine stitching. It is made from a thin gimped metalloplastic strip. Metalloplastic signifies that it is not made of metal, but a metal-like material. A gimped thread is made of one thread wound around another in a coil. On this thread, the coil is so tightly wound that there is no space between the coils, which is why it remains intact, even when used on a machine." Polyester metalloplastic thread, machine washable. Avoid tumble drying. Diametre: 0.35mm. Length on each spool: 100 metres. Made in France.
