Wanted Gold thread but gave up

In one of the embroidery works i am doing , i thought seriously about using a Gold thread. But once i fingered it , i didn`t like the metalic feel . Than i tried another , it was too slippery. I can`t touch man made threads, I tried several `kinds` and makes of gold,,, and when i saw that i won`t like working with it i looked for a nice cotton that will give a simile of gold,, Pearl cotton 8, color 348 when worked over and with blue thread gives me the image i wanted... mirjam

I have used gold coloured rayon thread instead of metallic gold thread several times--the look is different, but it does have a nice sheen to it, and somehow a richer colour. It is not easy to work with, but even so, many of the metallics are nastier. Dawne

Yes,it sounds as if you found something that worked perfectly for you. What I did worked in the places I used it, and I think other people have likely found other ways to replace metallics. Maybe they will share them???? Dawne
