Embroidery thread - Tonkin assortments

Glossy Tonkin thread assortments in boxes of 12 colours

Available in 24 colours, Tonkin thread is a gimped polyester yarn enhanced with a fine strand of gold Lurex, giving it a unique and elegant sheen. Its slightly puffy texture makes it particularly enjoyable to work with. Unlike other metallic threads, Tonkin does not fray, even during long embroidery sessions.

Our Tonkin thread assortments are presented in two themed boxes, each containing 12 colours:

  • Box of 12 classic tones: a balanced selection of timeless shades, perfect for elegant and traditional embroidery projects.
  • Box of 12 vintage tones: muted and rich colours, ideal for creations with a retro charm.
  • Box of 12 bright tones: vibrant and luminous shades, for joyful and high-contrast embroidery work.
  • Box of 12 pastel tones: a soft and fresh palette, perfect for delicate and poetic designs.
  • Box of 12 two-tone shades: a harmony of subtly blended colours that bring depth and texture to your embroidery.

These assortments allow you to explore the full richness of the Tonkin range and add glossy accents to your embroidery projects, whether traditional or modern.

In our embroidery blog, Madame Sajou's Diary, you’ll find ideas for enhancing, or embroidering, some of our printed fabrics using Tonkin thread. For example, customise the Indienne de Napoléon, our famous Farandole Bretonne fabric, or even our grey Toile de Jouy.

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