Qualities to look for while choosing embroidery thread

Thread is the very basic which each one of us have seen and heard in our home since the childhood. It is actually the backbone or rather the asset for any fabric, because you can’t imagine any cloth you wear without the thread which turns it into the desired shape and form.

The embroidery thread is most commonly known as the stranded cotton or embroidery floss. It is a basically a combination of 6 strands, with each strand made up of 2 plies. To use it for the stitching, these strands are separated, as it is tough to use all the 6 in a single go. So they are used with a combo of 2, 3 or 4 strands as per the fabric required.

The major features which makes this thread really lovable is its shine, durability, smoothness, the ability to expose immense beauty via the embroidery made over it. Moreover, it has high tensile strength which makes it more of use, rather than other threads including the rayon, polyester, or nylon.

You can choose from the various varieties available for the embroidery purposes-

1.       Cotton floss-> standard cotton, made from the mercerized cotton. It is a divisible thread where strands are removed before stitching, as per the fabric demands.

2.       Variegated floss-> combo of multi colors, and used as a dye technique.

3.       Rayon/satin floss-> very soft and used for all kinds of stitches.

4.       Metallic floss->100% polyester and ads metallic touch to any fabric.

5.       Silk floss->made from 100% silk, it is best for the cross stitching and tapestry.

6.       Pearl cotton- >a non divisible thread, where strands cannot be separated.

Depending on what your project is depending, the moist suitable type can be selected and  used for stitching work.
