New ThreadNanny 24 Metallic Silver Skeins 100% Cotton Metallic Thread for Hand Embroidery

This thread is more metal than thread, & prefers to either be used as fairly big stitches ( say, min. 3/8 inch) or tacked down with another more fluid thread. It also is quite a brassy gold vs. a calm gold.

I was hoping for a soft glittery gold. Burn test was not what I expected! Instead of shrinking and melting like polyester or blackening like a candle wick, it burned fast like a fuse!

I started making friendship bracelets during quarantine and wanted to add a little sparkle and this thread is perfect. The colors are so vibrant and really pop and this pack had a really nice assortment. The threads are a little stiff as one would expect from metallics but not so bad that they are hard to use, at least for my purpose. I read some reviews about fraying but I tied a small knot in each end before using and have not had any issues. Love these and would definitely buy again.

I had to return this. I use metallic thread to hang the Christmas Star ornaments I make. The threads in this do not separate and it was more wiry than I wanted.

This product is more stiff slightly wire and works well to add bling to embroidery items. First, each skein has about 12 very thin threads and separating them is really not an option; so work with the thread without separating.Also the ends seem to want to fluff or unwind at cut end, so what I do is choose the length and put in two knots about an inch apart and do the cut between that way it does not fray at ends, then at the end where your will thread into needle, cut a new cut at the other end to be able to thread through eye of needle before it begins to fray or unwind.I am pleased with the appearance. This thread works good to straight stiches but not well for loops because it is wire like rather than silky.Good product but it takes a few minutes to get use to using it.

This assortment of metallic embroidery floss was just what I was looking for. I needed gold, red, green, and purple. All the colors are pretty. Be warned that it is difficult and time consuming to work with. It frays constantly and the strands separate seemingly on their own. It bunches up when you make a stitch, so you have to unthread the needle and smooth all the strands down. If you are patient, you will get a beautiful result. It does work with the needle threader that I use for cotton embroidery floss.

I contacted the seller "ThreadNanny" and they report that "those 2 colors are also metallic threads as per Industry standards", but it is very clear in person that the neon green and pink colors are only coated in a film or paint to give them a glossy finish. The neon green and pink colors contain zero metallic effect. All of the other colors are indeed metallic.You can even tell by feel that the pink and neon green are coated differently than the real metallic threads.

Gorgeous metallic shine, sturdy thread, easily worked. I'll be a return customer for sure.
