Category: Threads and Floss

Spun "Alger" silk thread for hand embroidery from Au Ver à Soie Paris, in a range of gorgeous golds I've chosen just 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 GOLD BAR 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!

Leo ★★★★★

These golds are absolutely stunning in person, and the colors shift beautifully in different light. I love how the loosely plied strands separate effortlessly for detailed work, even down to a single thread. Already dreaming up what to stitch next with this luxurious silk.

Benjamin ★★★★☆

The colors are truly rich and vibrant, especially the warm golds—they catch the light beautifully while stitching. I wish each skein came with a bit more length for larger projects, but the way the strands separate so cleanly makes delicate work a breeze.

Daniel U. ★★★★☆

I was surprised how easily the strands separate for finer detail work, though the price feels a bit steep for just one spool. The gold tones are exactly what I needed for my project's accents.
