Kreinik 001J Japan Thread #1

Kreinik Japan Thread #1 Metallic Thread 001J (Silver)

Add a refined metallic shine and a professional look to your embroidery projects with Kreinik threads from the premium Japan Thread series. Item 001J is a classic, dazzling Silver. Unlike regular braided metallics (Braid), Japan Thread was created as an imitation of traditional metallic threads for Japanese embroidery. It has an absolutely smooth surface and looks like a fine, solid silver thread in your work.

This thread is indispensable for creating delicate accents in Mirabilia, Nora Corbett, and Chatelaine designs. It is perfectly suited for blending with regular cotton floss for a subtle shimmer, delicate backstitching, stitching frosty patterns, snowflakes, or for couching techniques.

Product Characteristics:

• Item Number: 001J

• Series: Japan Threads (smooth metallic thread).

• Thickness: #1 (very fine, roughly equivalent to one strand of embroidery floss or Blending Filament).

• Color: Silver.

• Length per spool: 40 meters.

Advantages of Kreinik Japan Thread:

• Smooth Texture: The thread lacks a braided texture, so it lays perfectly flat on the fabric, reflecting light like a solid mirror.

• Versatility: The thickness allows for easy combination with other threads or independent use for the finest lines and details.

• Cost-Effectiveness: A generous 40-meter spool ensures you will have enough thread to complete many large-scale projects.

💡 Stitcher's Tip: Metallic threads tend to untwist and tangle. Cut lengths no longer than 30-40 cm so the thread doesn't fray against the fabric. For even smoother gliding through the fabric, you can use wax or a thread conditioner (such as Thread Magic).
