About This Thread
Madeira Opal is in a category of its own. This is Madeira’s exclusive effect thread — the one that fashion houses and designers reach for when they want embroidery that genuinely stops people in their tracks. The unique twist construction catches light differently at every angle, producing a soft, shifting iridescence that’s closer to a gemstone than a thread. The nine-colour selection — from clean White and soft Mint through to the full-spectrum Rainbow — covers everything from delicate bridal work to bold statement pieces. It is, quite simply, a mesmerising thread to work with.
Please note: the iridescent effect of Opal thread varies with lighting conditions and viewing angle — this is part of what makes it so special. Colours shown are as accurate as possible but the live effect will always exceed what a screen can capture.
