All Kimono Silk Threads

The All Kimono Silk Threads collection at Linda's Electric Quilters features Superior Threads' luxurious Kimono Silk line — a premium 100-weight, 2-ply silk thread prized for its extraordinary sheen, incredible strength, and delicate fineness. Ideal for heirloom quilting, hand appliqué, machine embroidery, and any project where an ultra-fine, lustrous thread is desired, Kimono Silk adds an unmatched elegance to finished work.

What weight is Kimono Silk thread?

Kimono Silk is a 100-weight, 2-ply thread — one of the finest threads available for machine or hand sewing. Its ultra-thin diameter creates nearly invisible stitches that sink beautifully into fabric without adding bulk.

What projects is Kimono Silk best used for?

Kimono Silk excels in heirloom machine quilting, stitch-in-the-ditch applications, English paper piecing, hand appliqué, and machine embroidery where you want maximum sheen with minimal thread visibility. It is also a favorite for bobbin thread in fine embroidery work.

Is Kimono Silk thread compatible with longarm machines?

Yes — Kimono Silk can be used in both longarm and domestic machines, though its fine weight makes it particularly well-suited for detail work and specialty applications rather than everyday production quilting.

How many colors is Kimono Silk available in?

Kimono Silk is available in a wide spectrum of colors, from neutrals and naturals to vibrant jewel tones. Browse the collection to find the perfect shade for your next elegant project.
