AMETHYST - Au Ver à Soie 7 Strand Silk Alger Thread for Hand Embroidery
Spun "Alger" silk thread for hand embroidery from Au Ver à Soie Paris, in a range of jewel-like shades of purple I've selected for you. Loosely plyed, this silk floss separates easily for work as fine as 1-2 strands. Bright and soft with an excellent tensile strength and smooth twist for snag-free needle working. The unrivaled quality of their raw silk means it does not abrade easily. Au Ver à Soie silks have been made by the same family since 1820!
Each skein measures 5 meters, 6 shades per range.
- 100% spun silk
- 7 strand floss
- 5 meters per skein
- colorfast and washable
- Made in France
These palettes are packed in a re-usable envelope for storing your silks. Use the window cutout to continue pulling from the skeins!
Read about my visit to Au Ver à Soie in Paris
I have bought several packages of the Au Ver À Soie Silk Threads and they create the most beautiful finish. Sublime Stitching carries a wonderful selection and once you start embroidering with these threads they will be the only ones you will want to use. Highly recommend!
I love the feel of the silk thread in amethyst and gold, the ease of sewing with thread, and the vibrant colors! Supporting an artist who makes available excellent craft tools is a good feeling.
