Designed for embroiderers and cross-stitch enthusiasts, the DMC Diamant Metallic Thread (D310 Black) provides a sophisticated, high-luster finish to any textile project. Its primary benefit is the single-strand construction that glides smoothly through fabrics like linen and silk without tangling, though users should note that the metallic composition requires gentle tension control to maintain a pristine aesthetic.

Yes, it is excellent for cross-stitch, especially when you want to add metallic accents or highlights to a design.
No, Diamant is a single-strand thread designed to be used exactly as it comes off the spool.
One strand of Diamant is equivalent to two strands of standard DMC stranded cotton in terms of coverage.
While durable, it is recommended to hand wash finished projects in cool water with mild soap to maintain the integrity of the metallic finish.
Each spool contains 35 meters of thread.
It is highly versatile and works well on cotton, linen, silk, and satin.
Use a shorter length of thread and verify the needle eye is not too small, causing excessive friction.
Ensure consistent tension throughout the stitch and allow the thread to hang freely if it begins to twist excessively.
Use a needle threader designed for metallic threads or trim the thread end cleanly at an angle.
To achieve the best results, use a slightly larger needle eye than you would for standard cotton to prevent friction from stripping the metallic outer layer. This thread is compatible with all standard embroidery fabrics, including fine linen and heavy satin. When stitching, maintain a light and consistent tension. If the thread appears to lose its twist, drop the needle and let it hang free for a moment to allow the fiber to naturally untwist. Store the spools in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the metallic finish.
