FIL D'ARGENT 283A 1 BOBINE 40M

To add a touch of sparkle to your embroidery, the DMC metallic thread n°283A silver offers a subtle shine without visual overload. This discreet silver effect enhances delicate patterns such as sprigs of foliage, flower outlines or white embroidery details, creating a natural luminous depth on light canvases.

Composed of 72% viscose and 27% polyester , this yarn combines flexibility and hold. The 40 meter skein is easy to work with, without excessive snagging if you measure your needlepoint at 30 centimeters. Like all metallics, it withstands repeated needlework well, unlike the lurex threads of the past. French manufacturing : embroidery quality recognized for generations.

• Use 2 to 3 strands only if you want a discreet effect, or dare to combine more for a marked sparkle.
• Prefer fine needles (n°7 or n°8) to prevent the fibers from fraying.
• This thread fits particularly well with stem stitches, chain stitches and back stitches on linen or fine cotton.
• Combine it with strands of special pearl gray or off-white DMC mouliné to create subtle gradients.
• On tulle or organza, work with metallic in light mesh: the result will be airy and pearly.

Complete your palette with matching special mouliné threads to frame your bright spots, or enrich with white thread and gold metallics for a warm contrast. The DMC 100 snow white and 284 gold form a beautiful harmony with this silver.
