Tonkin thread is produced by Ets. Toulemonde, one of the last remaining French manufacturers of sewing and embroidery threads. Originally, this thread was produced for industries, notably for professional haute couture embroiderers. This polyester thread contains a fine strand of gold lurex which gives it a touch of class. Unlike other metal based threads, Tonkin thread is delightful to use because it doesn’t fray while embroidering. Also available in two different boxed sets. Length on each card: 10 m, in four strands. Size of card: 7 cm x 9 cm. Available in a variety of colors (left).
