Metallic cord and thread — striking, yet tough
Our polyester metallic cord is hard-wearing: it does not snap or tangle during work, whether by machine or by hand. It is flexible with minimal stretch, which leaves you practically unlimited freedom in shaping it.
Soft in the hand, firm in the finished piece
The metallic threads and cords themselves are soft, yet pieces made from them take on a pleasant, gentle firmness. No extra stiffening is needed, unlike work made with traditional cotton or polyester crochet threads.
It looks particularly striking in large, openwork patterns — wherever both sheen and shape retention matter.
