Glossy Tonkin embroidery thread on 10m cards

10-metre cards of glossy Tonkin embroidery thread

Tonkin is a unique gimped yarn, composed of a core thread, in this case a gold Lurex strand, surrounded by a covering of bulk polyester. This textured polyester gives the thread a slightly puffy appearance, adding both volume and gloss to your embroidery projects.

Gimped yarns like Tonkin are produced using specialised machines equipped with hollow spindles, through which the core thread is passed and wrapped by the outer layer. This process ensures excellent durability and prevents fraying, even during intricate embroidery work.

Presented on 10-metre cards, sold individually, this thread is also available in five themed assortments.

Whether in cross-stitch or traditional embroidery, Tonkin thread is ideal for adding elegant and glossy touches to your creations, even if you don't use it for an entire piece.

Explore our cross-stitch kit, which highlights all Tonkin thread colours through charming Eiffel Tower motifs.

Like all our embroidery threads, Tonkin is MADE IN FRANCE, respecting the artisanal traditions of Maison Sajou.
