Difference among French Wire, Bullion Wire and Gimp Wire

-

Who does not love metallic wires and their mesmerizing work? We absolutely adore how a metallic wire makes any design so beautiful. There are many different versions of metallic wires available and sometimes it gets a little confusing to choose the right wire for your embroidery project. These wires are categorised into three categories i.e. French Wire, Bullion Wire, and Gimp Wire. People usually confuse these wires with each other but there are huge differences among them which is not exactly explained anywhere. Therefore, we have decided to explain the differences in detail. Let’s explore the differences one by one:


First: Shape of Wire
These wires can be made from the same material but the difference comes in the shape of the wire used. French Wire is made from round wire while Bullion Wire is made from flattened wire.
The wires that we offer are made of Copper and they have high resistance to rust.

Second: Thickness of Wire
French Wire is made from fine wire while the wire used for making Gimp Wire is really thick and stiff.

Third: The way they are coiled
Smooth French Wire and Gimp Wire are coiled in round manner like a regular coil. On the other hand, Bullion Wire is coiled in the square shape and then twisted into angular manner to give dimension and amazing shiny effect.

Fourth: Shine/ Finish
French Wire has a beautiful and elegant lustre except for the Matte French Wire that has no shine. Bullion Wire is extremely shiny as the flat surface reflects more light.
Mostly, Gold color wires are used for doing embroidery on couture wears. We have got for you the largest online collection of Gold French Wire and Gold Bullion Wire only at embroiderymaterial.com.

Fifth: Touch
French wire is really smooth to touch and has a velvety finish. Bullion Wire is rough to touch because of the way it is coiled.  

Sixth: Color
All the wires are electroplated to get the color except the Matte French Wire (aka Kora). It is dyed to get the desired color. The advantage of electroplating over dying is that the wire does not get any patches, while dying the wire can make it a little patchy.
The wires that we offer do not bleed any color and they remain the same even after multiple washes.

Seventh: Flexibility
Gimp Wire is the least flexible among all the wires therefore, it is also famous as Stiff Wire. It is mainly used for making jewelry. On the other hand, all the other wires are very flexible and are perfect for any embroidery work.

Names by which they are famous
In India, French Wire is known as Dabka, Bullion Wire is known as Nakshi, Matte French Wire is known as Kora and Gimp Wire is known as Gijai.
