What makes Silken different from regular embroidery threads?

Silken is made with high-quality polyester and finished with a refined, glossy sheen. It uses dope dyeing technology, meaning color is embedded into the fiber, not just coated on the surface. This results in vivid, fade-resistant colors and exceptional durability.

Can Silken be used on embroidery machines?

Yes, Silken is compatible with most home and industrial embroidery machines. Its smooth surface ensures low friction and minimal breakage at high speeds. It’s also suitable for hand embroidery due to its soft texture and consistent tension.

What materials can I use Silken on?

Silken performs beautifully on a variety of fabrics such as cotton, polyester, canvas, linen, denim, felt, and even light leather. It's perfect for logos, decorative stitching, quilting, uniforms, accessories, and more.

Will the colors fade or run when washed?

No. Silken is colorfast and UV-resistant thanks to its dope-dyed construction. It retains its brilliance after repeated washing, exposure to sunlight, or regular wear.
