Description
An ombré thread: it changes between light and dark gradations of Black. Sulky calls the colour “Vari-Gray/Black”, colour number 2109.
Viscose shines softly and warmly, almost like silk. Rayon 40 does not lint, does not shrink and stays colourfast even after hot washes. Viscose stretches less than polyester. That makes the thread pleasantly easy to work in the machine, especially on dense designs. At weight 40 it suits the usual embroidery programmes and decorative stitches.
Tip: with a fine to medium embroidery needle and slightly looser top tension, the stitches come out cleanest.
What Sulky Rayon 40 Embroidery Thread 780 m Black 2109 is suitable for
- flowers and leaves with natural shading
- designs with a colour gradient without changing thread
- decorative stitches meant to look lively
- free-motion quilting with depth
Sewing tips
- Nadelstärke NM 75–80 verwenden, Universal-, Top-Stitch- oder Sticknadel.
- Die Oberfadenspannung beim Sticken etwas lockerer stellen als beim Nähen.
- Als Unterfaden ein dünnes Untergarn nehmen; ist die Rückseite sichtbar, passt auch Rayon 40 selbst.
- Die Zierstiche der meisten Nähmaschinen sind auf ein Garn der Stärke 40 ausgelegt.
- Stickvlies passend zum Stoff wählen, damit sich das Motiv nicht wellt.
- Farbnummer notieren, dann lässt sich dieselbe Farbe später eindeutig nachbestellen.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use Rayon 40 on a sewing machine too?
Yes, the decorative stitches of most sewing machines are set up for a weight 40 thread. The thread also works well for free-motion quilting and for rolled hems on the overlocker.
Which bobbin thread should I use?
For most projects a fine bobbin thread in light or dark to match the fabric. If the reverse stays visible, for example on scarves, Rayon 40 itself can run in the bobbin too.
Is viscose embroidery thread washable?
Yes, Rayon 40 is boil-proof and colourfast. Embroidered pieces can be washed normally, including towels and children's clothes. Avoid bleach, though, as it attacks the colour.
How does an ombré thread look in a design?
The thread changes between light and dark shades of the same colour at short intervals. That creates natural shading without changing thread, especially lovely on fill stitches, flowers and leaves.
