Rajmahal supply two types of gold and silver metallic threads to add special effects to your embroidery. Rajmahal metallic threads are supplemented by Sadi and decorative Shisha glass shaped mirrors for an Indian decorative effect on your embroidery. Sadi thread is an ancient & fascinating medium. It is a coiled, spiralled, hollow wire which may be used to enhance many forms of needlework, including shisha and other crafts. Sadi is available in gold or silver in three types: Rajmahal's Hints for working with Metal Threads and Sadi Cutting and Handling: Very sharp scissors,with long points or sharp blade and cutting board. Using tweezers can minimise hand contact which, as with all metal threads, can speed the tarnishing process. Frame: Essential for all metal thread work. Fabric should be firm, but not drum tight as this can cause puckering. Needles: When couching, a crewel needle 8-10. When passing metal threads through fabric, use a chenille needle number 8. Needles a little too large are preferable to those which drag the thread through too restrictive a hole, thus damaging the thread. A straw needle size 7-9 is used for sadi "Beading" If large areas of metal thread work are required, tack pieces of muslin over worked areas to prevent the thread coming into contact with embroiderer's hands. Storage: A dry place in an air-tight container. Acid-free tissue paper should cover all metal threads stored for any long period. Cleaning: Metal threads should never be immersed in water. The best method of cleaning the surrounding fabric is with magnesium carbonate (available through pharmacies). Lightly dust surface. After several minutes, carefully remove with a soft brush or low-power vacuum with fine nozzle. Rajmahal Sadi Products: Smooth Sadi: a plain, tightly woven spiral wire tube, in both broad and fine gauge. Check Sadi: a bright, loosely woven spiral wire tube, a multi-faceted sadi which catches the light. In broad and fine gauge. Pearl Sadi: a very tightly coiled and available in fine gauge only. Can be pulled out a little and makes a good edge. Note: Care must be taken when "pulling-out" Sadi thread. It does not return to its original size once stretched.
