DMC's Diamant Metallic Embroidery Thread is a smooth single strand metallic thread, made in Japan. Its high quality and appealing shades will add a luxurious feel and high definition to any design. Viscose fibres are wrapped in a metallised polyester coating followed by a silicone treatment; this expert treatment helps the thread glide through fabrics without damaging it and tangle free. One strand is equivalent to two strands of DMC stranded cotton.
