This Silk Hand Sewing Thread from Fujix provides the perfect luster and strength for special hand sewing and craft projects. It allows for a bit more stretch than a cotton thread, and lets you baste without leaving holes behind in the fabric. The shine is equally beautiful for topstitching, visible mending, or needlepoint! The strength of 100% silk also makes it an excellent foundation for jewelry making, such as a woven design with our Tube of Seed Beads. Each bobbin holds 44 yards (40 meters).
