Japanese gold thread PDF Print E-mail

 

Japanese gold thread, which has the advantage of never tarnishing, is now extremely difficult to obtain. Being made of gilt paper twisted round cotton thread, it cannot be drawn through the material by the needle; but must in all cases be laid on, and stitched down with a fine yellow silk, known as Maltese, or Horse-tail.
