Crochet Cotton for Padding

Crochet Cotton for Padding

$1.75 USD

A soft cotton thread (Bernat crochet cotton) is used to pad narrow areas on goldwork designs such as leaves, stems and branches.

The crochet cotton should be waxed first with beeswax so that it is coated and stiff and can be sewn down single or in bundles of two, three or more strands, sewing down the strands with a single strand of polyester sewing thread.

Metal threads such as purls, bullions and Japan threads can be sewn over the crochet cotton padding raising the threads and giving the embroidery a dimensional effect.

Felt makes an excellent padding material or foundation fabric for metal thread embroidery. Elements of a design can be padded in layers of felt in a matching colour to the metal threads and then the metals thread are sewn over top.
I offer polyester felt or combination of wool 20% and rayon 80% which is a thicker felt good for padding and felt for needle cases.

Au ver A Soie is the manufacturer of fine silk thread and yarns in France since 1820. Soie d’alger is a seven ply stranded silk, each strand is twisted. The silk comes in a 5 meter pull skein which means you can pull the thread out without  removing the label.

I have dark yellow (gold), light yellow (gold), grey (silver), brown (copper), bright red, dark red and black which can be used for couching down metal threads and for silk shading when doing goldwork embroideries.
