Collection: Fil au Chinois

Fil au Chinois is a historic French thread, known for its strength, smooth finish and beautiful colour range since the 19th century. It works beautifully for hand embroidery, fine couture details and any stitching where you want the line of thread to feel clean, durable and precise.

Fine, strong Fil à Gant cotton thread traditionally used for couture beading, tambour work and glove making. Its lightly waxed finish helps beads and sequins glide smoothly without snagging, making it ideal for precise, meditative embroidery.
