SULKY - Original Metallic - Metallgarn in gold

More shine. Fewer compromises.

Your project deserves a touch of magic—that's exactly what SULKY® Original Metallic was developed for. This shimmering metallic thread adds a dazzling sheen to your embroidery, decorative stitches, and quilt patterns—without the need for elaborate special effects.

Whether on fine evening wear or as an eye-catcher on cushions, table linens, or textile art, this thread adds glamour to fabric – and reliably. The color-coordinated polyester core ensures a harmonious overall appearance, even with slight thread shifts. This way, your embroidery will look thoroughly professional – with every movement.

With a little care in the processing, metallic embroidery becomes quite uncomplicated: a slow speed, a suitable needle and an external thread holder are all that is needed for shiny results.

Product information

overview

TheSULKY® Original Metallic Yarnis a high-quality, metal-coated embroidery thread with a dyed polyester core. Developed for demanding embroidery and sewing projects, it adds a sophisticated, shimmering accent to textiles. The precise color matching between core and sheath ensures that the sheen remains the focus – even if the core should show through slightly in dense patterns.

This thread is ideal for machine embroidery, decorative stitches, free-motion quilting, and decorative accents on festive textiles. It is vegan-friendly, robust, and its sturdy construction makes it suitable for many fabric types. For optimal stitching, we recommend using an external thread holder, a moderate stitch speed, and the appropriate needle size (75-90 NM).

Please note that this yarn should only be used as the top thread. We recommend using classic embroidery thread or bobbin filament as the bobbin thread.
