001JW - Japan Silver Wired Thread

Currently in stock: Updated February 2026

1 spool

2026 - Due to Kreinik stock being unreliable with the supplier for the last year, we have decided to pause all new orders. In stock items are available while supplies last. There are many options for alternative brands of metallic filament and braids. Please email if you would like assistance in finding solutions for your projects.

This item will ship as a parcel, any automatic shipping may need to be adjusted based on your address.

Kreinik Wired Braid™ is exactly what it sounds like: a wired metallic thread the size of our Medium #16 Braid for dimensional embroidery effects. It was formerly known as Hot-Wire™. 

What can you do with a wired metallic thread in bright, cheery colors? Think 3-D as embellishments can come right off the surface of your design. Think TRIMMING, as you can add a funky edging to projects. WRITE words and initials and names with the wired thread. OUTLINE motifs to make them stand out.

In 2024, Rainbow Gallery purchased Kreinik and the threads will be on cards going forward, shipping will be adjusted when needed.  Prices will be updated, and old stock sold at the old price while supplies last.

In 2022, Kreinik changed the size of the spools that are used so it now must ship as a parcel due to the thickness of the plastic spool itself. (email if you would like the braids removed from the spool to a cardboard card to reduce shipping costs, blending filament can not be removed from the spool due to possible damage to the thread)
