Threads such as Gunold Sulky or Poly are made of high quality raw materials, for example Enka viscose for Sulky rayon and an EU-polyester for Poly. Lubricants, applied to the embroidery thread as a coating ensure smooth running of the thread throughout the whole thread pass. Premium quality threads such as those produced by Gunold can decrease the chance of a thread break occurring on the machine due to their consistently high breaking strength. It goes without saying that premium threads stand for colour fastness, as well as for a low tolerance in colour deviation and the identical thread size in all colours and dye batches of a particular thread type.
Gunold threads
When supplying such a comprehensive range of Gunold embroidery thread and consumables, it becomes a necessity to know the qualities of each thread and what type of work it is best suited to. GS UK, aside from its wealth of experience, has a team of in-house designers who offer a bespoke digitising service and use Gunold products to test their designs and explore the effects that can be created with them.
