Iris Embroidery Thread, 1000m, in Old Rose color, reference DXIP1246, is a machine embroidery thread. Iris is a thread brand founded in 1954 in Monterrey, Mexico, originally dedicated to cotton threads for embroidery, knitting and crochet, and today also with trilobal polyester threads for machine embroidery. This 1000m thread is made of trilobal polyester, which is more resistant and shiny than traditional cotton, designed for high-speed embroidery and sewing machines. The Old Rose shade is a brownish, aged rose, with a more vintage feel than a bright pink. It is a preferred option for embroidery with a retro finish, rather than a modern, saturated pink.
