Product Details
Krowntex ST type metallic yarn is a wrapped metallic embroidery yarn (also sold as metallic embroidery thread or lurex embroidery thread) made by Ningbo MH: a 150D polyester core yarn is completely covered by 12-micron, 1/69-inch metallized film, so the yarn keeps the strength of a polyester thread while the visible surface stays fully metallic.

Product Benefits
Fully wrapped, no core show-through
The 150D polyester core is completely covered by metallized film, so stitches read as an unbroken metallic surface instead of letting the core show under tension.
Built for machine embroidery
ST type is made specifically as an embroidery thread: it runs evenly through computerised embroidery heads and keeps its lustre where needle friction dulls loosely twisted metallic yarn.
A named line you can reorder
Krowntex is MH's metallic yarn brand line, so a buyer can reorder the same wrapped ST quality season after season instead of re-qualifying an unnamed generic yarn.
