Gütermann Silk Thread

Gütermann 100% Silk Thread comes on 100-meter spools and in many colors that will dazzle your eyes.

Gütermann's 100% Silk Thread is perfect, and preferred for appliqué because when it's pressed, there are no thread marks showing! Silk thread can also boast true colors, as silk takes the dye better than other fibers.

Gütermann's 100% Silk Thread can be used for appliqué, for sewing silk or wool fabric, or anyplace where you want a fine thread, true color, and strength.
