A gift set of 12 spools of Sajou Fil au Chinois Gloving threads.
The thread is a 2 ply, waxed, cotton thread, and was used in bygone days for sewing gloves. It is the perfect for applique, tambour beading and patchwork and gives a nice strong thread for all kinds of sewing projects. The threads have a beautiful sheen and will not fluff or spoil during use.
Like all Fil au Chinois threads, the Gloving thread is lightly waxed. The thread is passed through a bath of starch and bee's wax before twisting. Because the wax does not sit on the surface of the thread there is no stickiness, the threads have a nice sheen and are resistant to fraying.

290 (café au lait), 442 (mahogany), 361 (straw), 217 (chestnut), 535 (garnet), 501 (fuchsia), 100 (white) , 820 (pine green), 879 (emerald), 180 (black), 190 (slate) et 650 (navy blue).
