Rayon embroidery thread where in Australia can we get 4000 or 5000 metre spools? Of good quality of course.

The brand is Gem. Go to happyembroidery.com.au. Sarva will post express and he has a color booklet for $15 so you can match up with the brands you have. Hope this helps. Hows Benarkin. Cold there yet?

.... in Melbourne for excellent products and excellent service.
The last time I ordered here there was an Australia-wide $10 flat postage rate.
Marathon thread is beautiful.

Marathon is supposed to be a pretty good brand, I haven't used it myself. You could do a Google search for it.
Personally I like like Madeira Rayon very much, so colours I use a lot of, I buy 5,000 mt spools from AllStitch. Even with the postage it is worth it to have a great thread that doesn't shred or break, especially Black, 3 different shades of white, a fabulous Christmas red and green.
Hugs n love, Meg
