Thread Structure
Gilt Brilliant Twist is a tight yellow cotton 2-ply thread that is covered with a thin gilt strip. It has a slight matt shine.
Uses of Gilt Brilliant Twist 230/240
This thread would be a wonderful outline for motifs that will be filled in by other silk wrapped threads, such as silk purl loops. It also could be layered with other gold threads, contrasting them with brighter, round gold threads. Couch it in place using one strand of TIRE silk thread.
