Embroidery threads

 

Embroidery threads are resistant to the effects of light. Embroidery can be subjected to repeated washing and cleaning: it retains the original color and shape. Embroidery threads are maderia. Embroidery threads are now made locally in Saudia Arabia, by the same goldsmith who made the door of Kaaba. Finished pieces under go strict quality control tests in the laboratory before being stitched together.

Embroidery threads are yarns specifically designed for hand or machine embroidery. Embroidery threads are available in a variety of sizes and types, including rayon, polyester, cotton, acrylic and metallics. Rayon threads are generally made with a twisted multifilament construction and have a high sheen. Embroidery threads are categorized into cotton threads and embroidery floss. Cotton threads can further be categorized into stranded cotton thread that are composed of six loosely twisted mercerized cotton threads and soft cotton threads that are mainly used for designing tapestry and bold hand embroidery.

Embroidery threads are easily changed to complement different colors. Grandma got a white sweatshirt (she likes to stay warm), and her children and their spouses (the second generation) got indigo blue t-shirts. Embroidery threads are twisted from left to right or from right to left. According to the twist of the thread either of the two effects mentioned is produced.

Polyester threads can be made in three different thread constructions including a twisted multifilament, air entangled and spun construction. Obviously, cotton threads are only made in a spun construction. Polyester filament yarn or viscose yarn round covered with m type metallic yarn (12 mic) at fully closed regular intervals. Popular packing is of 125gms, 250gms etc.

Metallic threads have a reputation for being difficult to work with. With new finishes and special machine needles designed for use with metallics, these threads can be used for quilting and machine embroidery. Metallics are filament threads that have the highest luster and are formed with a synthetic core wrapped in metal foil. Generally metallic threads do not sew as well as polyester or rayon threads.
