Gunold POLY FLASH Effektgarn auf einer 1.000-Meter-Kone

For a high-quality metallic look, only easier to embroider.

Product details

overview

Gunold POLY FLASH is a high-quality effect embroidery thread that combines a metallic sheen with the durability of polyester. With a thread count of approximately 40, it is ideal for use on embroidery and sewing machines. The thread impresses with its high tear strength, wash and abrasion resistance, and exceptional appearance.

POLY FLASH was specially developed to create a visual highlight on a wide variety of textiles – from sportswear to fashion accessories. The metallic-looking surface is created by combining a modified polyester yarn with a flat, light-reflecting structure. The result is an embroidery thread that looks particularly elegant, yet is significantly more robust than traditional metallic threads.

Thanks to its special processing, POLY FLASH is also suitable for high embroidery speeds and delivers a consistent embroidery pattern with clear contours. The color selection is based on modern design trends and offers both elegant and vibrant tones.

FAQ

Further information in our frequently asked questions.

What is the difference between POLY FLASH and classic metallic yarn?

POLY FLASH has a metallic sheen, but is made from a modified polyester—making it more robust, wash-resistant, and tear-resistant than genuine metallic yarn. It's also easier to process.

Can I also use the yarn for sewing?

Yes, POLY FLASH is also suitable for decorative seams, ornamental stitches, and surface accents. However, it is not intended for regular seams—we recommend using a standard sewing thread for these.
