DMC Diamant metallic embroidery thread in gold (D3821) is a single-strand metallic thread, extremely smooth, that glides easily through any type of fabric without tangling or losing its twist during work. It is not divisible, and each strand is visually equivalent in thickness to two strands of a DMC cotton mouliné skein, allowing you to add shine and highlight to embroidery and cross-stitch without overwhelming the design. It comes in a 35-meter skein and is suitable for working on cotton, linen, satin, or silk, being especially used for details such as stars, Christmas ornaments, crowns, letters, and finishes that require a touch of golden shine. It is not recommended for machine embroidery, being designed exclusively for hand work, where its metallic shine stands out without losing malleability.
