    New Metallic Thread & Free Embroidery Design on Holly Bag

    August 18, 2020 /

    New Metallic Thread, You Ask? Yes, that’s right! Poly Sparkle™, a new 30 wt. metallic-flecked thread is now available at sulky.com!

NEW METALLIC THREAD: POLY SPARKLE At 30 wt., this thread is similar to the traditional Sulky Original Metallic, Holoshimmer™ and Sliver™ varieties, giving more coverage for free-motion work and machine embroidery. And with only flecks of metallic, the thread withstands more friction and tension, resulting in little to no thread breakage with high speed stitching.
