KnitSilk Silk-Cotton Fine Thread – Grey | 50g Cone | 1,500 Yards | 2/60 Nm
🧵 Grey Thread, Subtle Detail
Fine thread for detailed textile work. KnitSilk 2/60 Nm, 2-ply silk-cotton fine thread combines the lustre of silk with the natural character of cotton. The composition is approximately 50–60% silk, with the balance cotton, approximately 40–50%. Each individual cone contains 50g of thread and approximately 1,500 yards.
Set a Grey cone beside your fabric and imagine a quiet stitched outline, a finely worked initial or a delicate crocheted edge. Start with a small sample and explore how the fine thread handles with your chosen fabric, tension and technique.
