DiamantTM is a single-strand metallic thread that is extremely smooth for an easy glide through any type of fabric. Soft to the touch, it does not twist or tangle making DiamantTM the easiest metallic needlework thread for stitching. One strand of DiamantTM is equivalent to two stands of embroidery floss so it is ideal for hand embroidery, cross stitch, tatting, and quilting. DMC ART #380.
