What to know

Materials

metal, cotton

Vintage

From the 1930s

This listing is for your choice of length in yards of this rare antique 1930s French real metal thread. Metal wrapped around a cotton core I believe. It is in good condition. Used for embroidery, fly lure tying, fishing rod wrapping and more. Hand use only - do not try to use this in a machine.

This listing is for 10 yards or more of this thread, not the big spool. I hand wound 20 yards onto a flat cardboard spool/bobbin as shown in the photos. All lengths will be hand would to order. If you have questions please ask.

READ:
**Only the 10 yard length will ship free as letter rate, all other lengths I have added the cost of tracking into the price. * letter rate means it will not come with tracking. If you want tracking you can add at check out for an additional cost or buy a longer length instead.

I made a purchase from an estate with many more rare antique metal threads and ribbons and woven trims. So please check my shop section for more.

Super fine, bright copper colored single-ply thread has a coarse and sturdy texture while also being pliable. Described accurately, the item is satisfactory and what would be expected as far as packaging and timely shipping.

Love it. Purchased to add to some hand spinning alpaca fleece into yarn. Perfect for what I wanted and fast shipping also. Thank you.
