FIL OR 284A 1 BOBINE 40M

To add shine to your embroidery without overpowering the pattern, this metallic Gold 284A thread is a discreet but noticeable ally. The fineness of its composition — 64% rayon and 36% wool — gives it a flexibility that slides under the needle without resistance, ideal for delicate stitches and openwork details. This 40 m spool, made in France, offers a generous length to stagger your projects without interruption.

French composition and manufacturing : this yarn combines the warm shine of rayon with the structuring lightness of wool. The 64% rayon provides the golden reflection that catches the light, while the wool stabilizes the work and prevents slipping in free embroidery. Made in France, this thread meets the requirements of embroiderers who demand quality and traceability. The 40 meters provided are enough to highlight a complete pattern or to create golden accents on several small works.

• Reserve this metallic thread for beaded stitches and contours: its relief requires regular stitching and does not like too dense flat areas.
• Work with needles of 30 to 40 cm maximum to prevent the rayon from fraying at the ends.
• Combine it with warm shades – ochres, natural beiges – for an organic gold gradient, or with pearl grays for a luminous contrast.
• Test on a test canvas before applying it to a final piece: the rayon-wool blend behaves differently from classic yarn.
• Maintenance: after embroidery, a damp pass with a very soft iron revives the shine without damaging the rayon.

Pair this thread with shade 3821 or 3822 floss — pale gold and amber — to create subtle golden shades. On canvas, combine it with tight cross stitches in DMC Special to support the reflections without crushing them.
