Glossy Tonkin embroidery thread

Tonkin embroidery thread with a Lurex strand

Tonkin embroidery thread is a unique product that combines elegance, durability, and versatility. With its slightly puffy texture and a gold Lurex strand at its core, it adds a touch of brilliance to both traditional and modern embroidery projects.

Perfect for enhancing delicate patterns or bringing sparkle to bold designs, Tonkin thread is ideal for both embroidery and innovative uses, such as creating jewellery. Thanks to its polyester composition, it offers quick drying and exceptional strength, making it a favourite among professionals.

Our Tonkin embroidery thread is available in several formats to suit your creative needs:

  • 10-metre cards: practical for small to medium-sized projects.
  • Themed assortments: two elegant boxes featuring carefully curated colour selections.
  • 1,000-metre cones: ideal for large-scale or professional projects.

Thanks to its gimped structure, where a gold Lurex core is encased in bulk polyester, Tonkin thread resists fraying during stitching. Its lustrous appearance makes it a standout choice for both cross-stitch and traditional embroidery techniques.

Like all our embroidery threads, Tonkin is MADE IN FRANCE, in keeping with the traditions and artisanal values of Maison Sajou.

Discover our spectacular Wissant plaid cross-stitch kit, a masterpiece that combines Tonkin embroidery thread with Laine Saint-Pierre.

In our Paris-themed creations section, you will also find Eiffel Tower designs that shimmer, just like the real Eiffel Tower does every hour!
