Sajou Fil au Gant Waxed Gloving Thread — 8-Spool Box — Popular Tones

Description and Details

A gift set of 8 spools of Sajou Fil au Chinois Fil au Gant — a curated selection of the most popular colours of this specialist waxed gloving thread.

Originally developed for sewing gloves by hand, Fil au Gant is today one of the most trusted threads for Lunéville embroidery — also known as tambour embroidery — as well as for appliqué, patchwork, and fine hand sewing. Fine yet remarkably strong, it pulls cleanly through fabric and holds a crisp stitch line without fraying or fluffing during use.

The gloving thread is lightly waxed through a traditional process — passed through a bath of starch and beeswax before twisting. Because the wax is absorbed rather than sitting on the surface, there is no stickiness, while the thread retains a refined sheen throughout use.

Each spool contains 150 metres. This set contains the most popular colours:
100 – White
312 – Ecru
302 – Linen
180 – Black
650 – Navy
866 – Lawn Green
525 – Red
594 – Pink

The colour of the box may vary according to stock.

Materials: Waxed cotton (2-ply), lightly waxed using a traditional starch and beeswax process.
