CAVALCADE *EXCLUSIVE* Au Ver à Soie 7 Strand Silk Alger Thread for Hand Embroidery

I’d already tried other silk threads before, but this one's loose twist makes separating individual strands effortless for delicate stitches. The thread glides through fabric without any tangling, which was a pleasant surprise.

The colors in this set are truly vivid — much more saturated than any cotton floss I’ve used before. The threads have a subtle sheen that makes my stitches pop, though they do tangle if you’re not gentle. After working with one strand, the final piece has a lovely, soft texture.

This silk separates into single strands effortlessly, which made blending two of these bold colors for a monogram so satisfying. The subtle sheen is perfect for adding depth without looking too flashy.
