The Rayon thread No. 40 Fil Au Chinois, offered by Maison Sajou, is an embroidery thread particularly appreciated for its intense shine and silky appearance. Its beautiful brilliance brings light and relief to works and achieves particularly luminous decorative effects.
Rayon, formerly known as "artificial silk," is now referred to as a continuous viscose. It is made from cellulose derived from wood. Therefore, it should not be confused with natural silk, even if its shiny appearance may remind one of the latter.
A shiny and flexible thread
The Rayon No. 40 has a low twist, known as "floche". This characteristic gives it a smooth, flexible, and very shiny appearance that captures light particularly well.
Its shine allows for interesting contrasts with matte threads, cotton, wool, or other materials used in the same work.
Uses
The Rayon No. 40 is primarily intended for decorative embroidery. It is particularly suitable for works where a luminous, silky, or precious effect is desired.
It can notably be used for:
- hand embroidery,
- decorative embroidery,
- details and patterns requiring a lot of shine,
- material and light effects,
- re-embroidery and textile ornamentation,
- some machine embroidery works.
For machine use, it is advisable to work at a moderate speed.
Due to its loosely twisted structure and very flexible nature, this thread requires delicate handling to preserve its beautiful appearance.
