Polysheen from Mettler is a fantastic shiny thread that can be used in practically every sewing situation from sewing and quilting to embroidery. Polysheen is a Trilobal polyester thread which means unlike conventional embroidery and decorative threads, it has a significantly larger surface to reflect light, which is why it shines so beautifully. The tensile strength of this thread is 50% higher than rayon or viscose, which means there is guaranteed less risk of breakage whilst sewing. These gorgeous little sets contain 8 spools around a chosen colour theme, the perfect gift for a stitcher or why not simply treat yourself?
