Cord and Japan Thread

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. You can use these threads to couch Kreinik 3/8" Trim when you want the couching thread to be invisible. The colors are perfect matches.

Super-thin Cord is used for couching thicker threads, and for making fine details in a design (like stitched eyelashes). Other ideas: Use it to backstitch in cross stitch, overstitch in needlepoint, combine with any yarn in your crochet and knitting projects, and use it in the needle for machine embroidery. It's also an elegant metal fiber for card and scrapbook projects.
