DEF

Thread silk made for hand or machine sewing purposes, particulary the finer types. Made by twisting or plying several single threads together and the doubling of two, three, or more of these in the opposite direction.

CONT

Do not use silk embroidery floss for couching metal threads. Use a fine quality Japanese hand sewing silk. Also it is not necessary to wax the thread for strength. Silk is one of nature's strongest fibers, stronger that steel, and wax discolors the thread .
