Japan Threads

Smooth, bright metallic gimps designed like traditional Japan thread—a metallic wrapped around a core fiber—but made of modern materials rather than real gold or silver. 

• Couch these elegant fibers onto any design. 
• Japan #1 is a very thin, smooth and bright metallic, often used for backstitching, outlining, and couching threads or real metals.
• Japan #7 is thicker than Japan #5. Both can be couched with the super thin Japan #1 or a silk thread like Kreinik Silk Bella. 
• Dry clean only.
