Description and Details
A box of 12 Sajou Fil au Chinois Calais lace making thread cocoons in Assortment No.5 — Vivid Variegated Tones.
This assortment contains 12 gloriously named variegated colours: Sugared Almond (6930), Bonbon (6931), Cherry (6933), Fire (6932), Nasturtium (6937), Harlequin (6923), Sunflower (6929), Brighton Rock (6924), Avocado (6935), Cornflower (6934), Café Crème (6939), and Liquorice (6925).
Made from three strands of twisted mercerised cotton — equivalent to DMC No. 80 — these threads are equally well suited to sewing and embroidery as they are to lace making. The variegated threads are particularly lovely for decorative stitching.
Each cocoon holds approximately 110 metres of thread, wound to pull cleanly from the centre, preventing knotting and wastage.
Also available in five other assortments and as a full gift set of 72 cocoons.
Materials: 100% cotton.

I have bought several fil au chinois boxes of threads in the past. they’re not easy to find in this country so I was delighted to be able to buy some from Penelope Textiles. They were sent out promptly and were well packed. They are always a little pricey, but there’s a lot of thread on each reel and it’s high quality. You get what you pay for. Definitely worth buying.
