THE GLAMOUR OF TRUTHAll SULKY® colours are made of 100 %ENKA viscose

Artificial silk which is well known as viscosehas excellent properties and is therefore reallyvery similar to silk. Since 1908, Messrs. ENKAfrom Wuppertal has been manufacturing theworldwide known ENKA viscose according toa viscose process developed in England. As toviscose embroidery yarns GUNOLD GmbH,Stockstadt, has been the leader in quality formany years. GUNOLD is evidently the onlyembroidery yarn manufacturer in the worldwhose viscose embroidery yarns are entirelymade of 100% ENKA viscose in all coloursand counts. Therefore, SULKY® has beengranted the ENKA gold label!

SULKY® IS AVAILABLE IN 390 COLOURSNew extensive colour card

SULKY® is currently offered with 32 newcolours more so that this extensive colourcard includes an extensive range of colourswith totally 390 colours. The customers’important advantage is: The thread colourindicated on the colour card is absolutelyidentical with the thread delivered. This is notonly due to the innovative manufacturingmethod of SULKY® which is dyed and twistedat one of the most modern factories for threadmanufacture in Europe, but also to ENKA

VISCOSE IS A NATURAL PRODUCTThe manufacturing process of ENKA viscose

The source material for manufacturing cellu-lose is wood. It takes about 20 years until onesingle tree disposes ofthe inner structureand ripeness tomeet the highENKA qualityrequirements.Long-chain cellu-lose molecules arethe best basis forfurther processing of cel-lulose to viscose. For manufacturing viscose,the solid matter pulp is first converted intosolution during a chemical conversion pro-cess. With the help of finest spinnerets thisso-called spinning solution is endlessly spunto an endless thread, the viscose filamentthread, which obtains such an incomparablysilky shine, smoothness and excellent soft-ness.

SULKY®

The world’s best viscoseembroidery yarn

Laboratory tests prove the high quality ofENKA viscose

Cross-sectional photos of viscose filamentswhich have been strongly enlarged prove it:ENKA viscose has regular, toothed or lappedcross-sections of always the same size. Andthese even filaments are most important qua-lity criteria for the refraction of light, clean-ness of the thread, constant solidity, andevenness of dyeing. Refraction of the light andcleanness of the thread make the yarn be evenmore brilliant and shining; whereas a “noname” viscose shows different forms of fila-ments and strongly toothed outlines.

SULKY® REALLY OFFERS ADVANTAGES!Quality all along the line! This is proven by the embroidery result to theembroiderer’s and his customers’ delight

ENKA viscose has always been one of thedecisive factors for the excellent quality ofSULKY®. Laboratory tests showed that all theother embroidery yarn suppliers mix cheapFar East viscose to their viscose embroideryyarns, at least with some colours within theirrange of colours. The embroiderer feels thatGUNOLD always uses 100 % ENKA viscosefor all SULKY® colours especially when usingit on the embroidery machine: There is nodifference in quality from one colour to theother. When reordering a colour, the embroi-derer can be sure of really getting the samecolour again. Referring to resistance to tearing or abrasionthere is nothing better and this also applies tothe low level of fluff, the consistent evenness,and low frequency of breaking. SULKY®

breaks e. g. less frequently with increasingsewing speed than a no name viscose andSULKY® also “forgives” wrong thread tension-ing.

SULKY® guarantees even and perfect embroi-dery from the first to the last metre. Anotheradvantage: The embroidery design does notlose anything when being put under longstress and thus profits from a long-term, uni-que, and excellent appearance. SULKY® made of 100 % ENKA viscose means:best possible efficiency and quality whenembroidering. Founded in 1927, GUNOLD GmbH from
