| Rajmahal Needlework threads |

Colour Card |
| |
| Art Silk |
A 6 strand Viscose floss, very fine with a high gloss,
like all synthetic threads can be tricky to use. Rajmahal suggests
using a slightly damp sponge and running the thread thru this before
use. I have found that Thread Heaven makes it better to stitch
with, or stripping the threads, wetting them with fabric spray (dab a
little on your fingers) then letting the thread dry for a few seconds.
This thread is similar in weight and style to Cifonda. |
