Spun "Alger" silk thread for hand embroidery from Au Ver à Soie Paris, in a range of bold, daring colors I've picked 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. And yes, it's colorfast and washable!

Au Ver à Soie silks have been made by the same family in Paris since 1820.

There are six colors in the CAVALCADE palette.

  • 100% spun silk
  • 7 strand floss
  • 5 meters per skein
  • colorfast and washable
  • Made in France

Each Sublime Stitching x Au Ver à Soie palette is packed in a reusable envelope for storing your silks. Use the window cutout to continue pulling from the skeins!

Sofia ★★★★★

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.

Claire A. ★★★★★

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.

Ryan ★★★★★

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.
