Kreinik carries Ecclesiastical grade real metals, which will remain bright for 10-20 years depending upon pollution and the amount of handling. We've also added a tarnish-proof coating to our real metals. Each thread is available by strand (33-39 inch) or half-strand (16.5 - 19 inch). Real metal threads are couched (tacked down) onto fabric or canvas.
