YLI Thread
YLI Variations Polyester Variegated Thread
Variations is the variegated color line of Polished Poly with 1″ color changes from very subtle tans, browns, and greys to standard bold primaries and jewel. Designed first for embroidery fill stitch to give movement and interest to color blocks – especially landscapes – Variations has been embraced by quilters as well.
YLI Fine Metallic Thread
Designed for high speed embroidery machines, it also works well for quilting (even longarms) and hand applications. Sometimes even the best metallic thread can be ornery. Use the right needle (we recommend Metafil or Metallica), properly adjust tension, and use a soft bobbin thread. The results are worth all the effort!
