French Knot

This is a fun stitch you can use to create many effects in designs. It can be small or large. Using more than one strand of thread or a thick braid, for instance, makes the knot fuller.

Where to use it:

wherever you want a "dot"
as flower centers with letters and numbers and punctuation marks
use in bunches to replicate sheep, curly hair, a beard or moustache, etc.
to replicate snowballs
as accent on eyes
filling stitch
also popular in Ribbon Embroidery

What to use:

Kreinik Braids - any size, depending on your ground fabric and design
Kreinik Ombre
Kreinik 1/16" ribbon
Kreinik Silk Mori
Kreinik Silk Serica
Kreinik Silk Bella

How to do it:
Come up at 1, wrap the thread around your needle either once or twice depending on the design instructions, then plunge your needle back down into the fabric right beside the spot where you started (don't go back down into the same hole). Keep the thread snugly around your needle.

AUGUST 2021 NEWS

High demand for product combined with supply, production, and staffing ramifications of the pandemic means that it is taking longer than normal to get your Kreinik orders. IN MOST CASES, IT IS TAKING UP TO 10 WEEKS TO FILL ORDERS We make our threads, and also rely on outside sources for things like packaging and raw materials. Every step of the manufacturing process has been affected by the pandemic, even shipping has seen incredible delays. We apologize for the frustration and inconvenience, and are doing everything we can to improve the situation.

To speed up production of the most in-demand colors, we are only making the top 60 to 80 colors in Kreinik #4, #8, and #12 Braid lines. The colors in production can be found on those individual thread pages on our website. This is a temporary situation; we will go back to producing 200+ colors per Braid size when we are able.

We cannot do rush orders at this time.

ABOUT ORDERING ONLINE

Kreinik does not sell direct to the public, so all orders received on this website will have payment collected and fulfillment by independent retailers. Their stock may vary, so it could be that they need to get product from Kreinik to fulfill your order. We apologize for any inconvenience. Both the store and Kreinik will work hard to get the product to you as soon as possible.
