Made of 100% branded viscose, SULKY® has gained a top rank in the list of most acclaimed embroidery threads worldwide – thanks to its silky smooth shine and flawless, even colouring, not to forget its high non-fade properties and colour fastness: a SULKY® colour tone will keep its brilliance for years. This makes sampling and reordering an easy task while guaranteeing reliable results. And nature benefits too: SULKY® is produced in a particularly resource-saving and environmentally friendly way and is also bio-degradable!

The polyester component makes the thread hard-wearing and soft, the metallic thread lets POLY SPARKLE sparkle and glitter. All in all, the result is a wonderful effect thread with a whole new look.

Small lettering and tiny details are more pronounced on base fabrics in plain weave.
