Read about my visit to Au Ver à Soie in Paris












As a newbie and a spoiled princess when I realized I could embroider with silk I decided I needed all the Au Ver à Soie silks. ALL of them. Imagine my surprise that the metallics have now become my favorite!! it does not loose sparkle after finished and it is smooth as a metallic thread can be from the first pull. I’ve used it on plain cotton, on linen, everything I can get my hands on and I love it. It’s super sturdy, it does not tangle and does not need to be run through a thread gloss or beeswax to stay together. I will own every. single. color. even if it means my husband will never get to retire!!!
Have some fun with bright and colorful threads from France. The colors really stand out!
Beautiful colors. Very inspiring.
