Turkish term or phrase: Kurtçuk
Embroidery order
Four-leaf clover in the center.
Attach the Gütermann sewing thread; which is 488 yellow. Cut a RM407 Gold Twist Thick ***Kurtçuk*** in 4 equal pieces; which should be the size of the flower. Pass the needle through the cordon and place the cordon in the shape of the leaf of the flower. In order to fix it in place, attach it on several points, with the help of the top stitching loop. Place the other pieces in the same way and create the four leaf clover.

worm
Explanation:
I think literal translation would work here. It is suggesting that the piece "looks like as thick as a worm". When I say that, I imagine a RM407 (whatever it is) that is worm thick.
