Embroidery thread is a type of thread specifically designed for decorative stitching on fabric. It comes in various materials, including cotton, polyester, and silk, each offering different textures and finishes. The thread is available in a wide range of colors, allowing for creative expression in embroidery projects. Typically, embroidery thread is thicker than regular sewing thread, which helps it stand out in designs. It can be used with various stitching techniques, such as cross-stitch, satin stitch, and backstitch. Choosing the right type of thread is essential for achieving the desired look and durability in embroidery work.
