Tentakulum Hand Dyed Gimpe, 100% rayon (viscose thread wound tightly around a cotton core). You will be surprised how well gimpe lends itself to all types of embroidery by hand and machine: couch it, use it as tiny cording, perfect for French knots, Kumihimo braiding, etc. 10 meters/approximately 33 feet per skein. (As this is a hand-painted product, color variations are to be expected and swatches here are only an approximation.) [Example photo courtesy Tentakulum Manufaktur]
