Kreinik Japan Threads are synthetic, non-tarnishing
gimps available that give the appearance of stitching with real metals.
Use them anywhere, from Asian embroidery to charted needlepoint,
painted canvas, samplers, ecclesiastical, and other surface embroidery.
Stitch with Japan #5 or couch it (tack it on the surface) using a
thinner thread.
*Please note that skeins have been discontinued by the manufacturer and quantities are limited. Spools are still available.
