Crafted in Japan using the same technique as the Japanese gold thread used in Kyoto's Wasou (traditional Japanese clothing), the foil in this thread Is wound tightly around to cover a core metallic thread.   The resulting thread is silky and resistant to abrasions with kimono like elegance for embroidery, tassels and other sewing projects.  

20m/ 21.9 yards per spool.

Colors 01 - 23 - Round covered stands shine chic glosses which ar reminiscent of Wa (Traditional Japan) and abrasion-resistant.  They match perfectly with other embroidery threads.

Colors 24 - 33 - The contrast between the core thread and films give bright and gorgeous glosses.  They are soft and smooth, matching any cloth.

The threads are made of nylon, polyester and cupro (a cellulose fiber made from cotton for softness).  Not suitable for machine sewing.  Keep away from heat.
