Double Gimp Twist
$ 7.50
Visit product page →This gimp thread has a pair of gimps wrapped around the core giving it a really regular but bumpy texture. It is delightful to couch in place for stems, grass, trees, and flowers. I have alternated it with regular gimp to get really textural effects.
The spools have 5 meters on each no matter if the spool is large or small (spools are running low so we are using what we can). There will be some more of many of these colors when the new batch of spools arrives.

Silk Facette Gimp
$ 8.00
Visit product page →A thick (~1 mm diameter) wavy silk gimp with a wire inside that allows it to be used to edge areas in stumpwork and be used for edgings of needlework items. The thread was used original in passementary (tassels) to give a unique texture. Available in many Au Ver a Soie colors. 2 meters in the package.
Four colors are new and were not in the Frostings 3 box: 945 (red), 2214 (Olive), 2216 (Dk. Olive) and Noir (Black).
5If you want a clean end when cutting, use a small dab of rice paste glue on the area you will cut and let dry. Then cut through the glued area.
In the example picture, the silk facette gimp is used as the cream outline and the loops.
