Gilt Smooth Purl | Goldwork Threads

Gilt Smooth Purl Smooth Purls are a delicate wire thread tightly coiled into a soft, flexible hollow tube with a subtle matte finish. They add a unique finish and texture to goldwork embroidery.  These tubes are cut into small sections, or beads using a fine sharp embroidery scissors and stitched onto the fabric by threading through their hollow center. This keeps the stitching concealed. The purl beads or chips can be layered over felt or crochet cotton padding to create a raised, dimensional effect on the design. Gilt threads have ½ % of gold in the plating covering copper. Consider combining with Rough Purl, Gilt Faconnee, Pearl Purl, or Wire Check for a unique look.  Smooth purl is available in a variety of sizes.
