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.

866 (lawn green), 808 (acqua green), 361 (straw), 752 (cornflower), 650 (navy blue), 180 (black), 290 (café au lait) , 390 (orange), 501 (fuchsia), 525 (red), 535 (garnet) et 458 (plum).
