The roots of SULKY® go back to 1927. From the family company GUNOLD – one of the leading providers in the field of industrial embroidery – the idea arose to bring this expertise into the hobby sector. Thus, SULKY® was born: A brand specifically for creative people who passionately embroider, sew, and quilt – at home, in the studio, or in sewing classes with friends. For almost 100 years, we have been accompanying embroidery and textile embellishment from the very beginning of multi-head embroidery. Initially through drawing and punching embroidery designs on punch cards. Today, GUNOLD is a specialist in embroidery materials: embroidery threads, embroidery nonwovens, special embroidery foils, effect fabrics for appliqué/patches, needles, and other accessories for embroidery.
