The DMC Diamant Grande metallic embroidery thread in gold (G3852) is a thicker version of the classic Diamant thread, composed of six non-divisible strands, designed for those seeking a more pronounced metallic effect in embroidery, cross-stitch, and needlepoint. A single strand is visually equivalent in thickness to four strands of a DMC cotton moulinem skein, making it ideal for larger stitches, prominent lettering, Christmas decorations, and compositions where a more pronounced golden sheen is desired than that provided by the thin Diamant thread. It comes in a skein of approximately 20 meters and remains smooth and easy to work with, without losing its twist throughout the embroidery. It is also widely used in scrapbooking, cardmaking, and punch needlework, being a versatile option for those who work with different needlework and decoration techniques.
