Filament Silk gimp is a round, cord-like thread made of Soie Ovale for hand embroidery.

It's smooth finish bestows a distinct raised texture in surface couching or detached stitches such as trellis stitch.

Great thread choice for Pekinese, herringbone or any stitch done on a surface ground.

Use in canvaswork with shorter 14 inch lengths for any flat stitches such as Byzantine, as it provides a unique textural effect.

Also can be couched on canvas with our matching Soie 1003 or one ply of Soie de Paris.

We recommend a 22 or 24 Chenille Needle.
