Description
An ombré thread: it changes between light and dark gradations of Lilac. Sulky calls the colour “Vari-Orchids”, colour number 2121.
Viscose shines softly and warmly, almost like silk. Rayon 40 does not lint, does not shrink and stays colourfast even after hot washes. Because viscose stretches less than polyester, the thread runs smoothly in the embroidery machine and the stitches lie evenly. At weight 40 it suits the usual embroidery programmes and decorative stitches.
Tip: note the colour number – that way you will find exactly the same shade again later.
What Sulky Rayon 40 Embroidery Thread 780 m Lilac 2121 is suitable for
- free-motion quilting with depth
- decorative stitches meant to look lively
- designs with a colour gradient without changing thread
- flowers and leaves with natural shading
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
Which needle suits Rayon 40?
Ideally a universal, top-stitch or embroidery needle in a fine to medium size. A needle that is too fine makes the thread chafe, one that is too thick leaves visible holes in the fabric.
Viscose or polyester – what is the difference?
Viscose shines more warmly and softly, almost like silk, and stretches less, so it runs more calmly in the machine. Polyester in turn is even more hard-wearing and also tolerates bleach.
How should I store the spools?
Upright, dry and out of direct sunlight. Dust on the thread carries lint into the machine, so a closed box is the simplest answer for a larger thread collection.
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.
