Color S002 Ebony. Sold per 15 meter (16.4 yard) spool, Painter’s Threads Gimpe is 100% rayon viscose thread wound tightly around a cotton core. You will be surprised how well gimpe lends itself to all types of embroidery by hand and machine: couch it, use it as tiny cording, perfect for French knots, Kumihimo braiding, etc. While Painter’s Threads is famous for their handpainted color blends, this ebony gimpe looks beautiful couched or wrapped with multicolor threads.
