ULTRA-SMOOTH. PERFECTLY DEFINED.

This is Fujix Silk Art Thread, a 100% silk, three-ply thread that's designed for fine fiber arts. With unsurpassed luster and outstanding elasticity, it's perfect for lace tatting, very fine crochet, passementerie, and decorative stitching. It's available in a range of richly hand-dyed colors, including several variegated options.

This "Z-twist" fiber is spun in the opposite direction of embroidery floss and knitting yarn (both are typically "S-twist"). That means that it has a totally different set of pros and cons than S-twist. Z-twist fibers do not spread out; they don't easily come apart or fray; and, they are resistant to splitting. However, Z-twist fibers are more prone to twisting and tangling than S-twist. For stitching projects, you may need to let out the twist that develops as you work the thread.

Supplied on 10 meter (one-gram) spools, Fujix Silk Art Thread is easy to dispense and a pleasure to use. It slides through needle eyes and fabric with impressive ease. Each color is sold separately.
