Sajou Fil au Chinois No.120 Fil au Gant/ Waxed Gloving and Thread, available in 32 colours.
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 inds 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.
Length on each spool: 150 metres.
The spools are classed as small parcels by Royal Mail due to their size.
This beautiful ribbon with gilded blue roses will make four bookmarks as separate gifts for father and son; both read and work with books. The ribbon is eye catching.
