Gift set of 8 spools of Sajou Fil au Gant waxed gloving thread in the most popular colours. Fine, strong, and beautifully sheened. 150 metres per spool.
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.
