KnitSilk Silk-Cotton Fine Thread – Silver | 50g Cone | 1,500 Yards | 2/60 Nm
🧵 Silver Thread, Delicate Detail
Bring a cool Silver accent to detailed textile work with KnitSilk silk-cotton fine thread. Its 2/60 Nm, 2-ply construction combines silk's lustre with cotton's natural character. The blend contains approximately 50–60% silk, with the balance cotton, approximately 40–50%.
Set a cone beside your fabric and picture a finely stitched initial, a delicate border or a small lace motif. Begin with a sample and explore the thread's fine texture with your own tools and tension. Silver is the colour name, not a claim of metallic fibre content.
