My favorite blues from Au Ver à Soie, together in one palette! Spun "Alger" silk thread for hand embroidery from Au Ver à Soie Paris, in an exclusive range of irresistible, ocean-inspired hues. 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 OCEANA 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!

Harper ★★★★★

I love how these blues actually look like sea-glass when they catch the light, and the thread glides through fabric without any tangling. Perfect for stitching ocean-themed pieces.

Scarlett ★★★★★

The silk feels incredibly smooth as it glides through the fabric, and the deep blues shift beautifully in the light. I’ve been using this for a coastal embroidery piece, and the hues are exactly what I imagined.

Claire P. ★★★★★

The colors in this ocean-themed assortment are even more vibrant in person, and the silk thread glides through fabric without tangling. Perfect for adding a subtle sheen to embroidery details.
