Rainbow Gallery Glissen Gloss is a lustrous rayon embroidery thread that adds brilliant shine and smooth coverage to cross stitch, embroidery, needlepoint, and other decorative needlework projects. Its silky appearance creates beautiful highlights and elegant accents that stand out against traditional cotton threads.
Whether you're stitching ornaments, floral designs, holiday projects, lettering, or decorative details, Glissen Gloss provides vibrant color and a luxurious sheen that brings added dimension to your work. Many stitchers use it to highlight special areas of a design or to create striking visual contrast alongside cotton floss.
Because rayon threads are smoother than cotton, Glissen Gloss may require a little extra care while stitching. Using shorter thread lengths and allowing the thread to untwist occasionally can help produce beautiful, even stitches.
