Spun "Alger" silk thread for hand embroidery from Au Ver à Soie Paris, in a range of my favorite colors. 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 RAINBOW palette.

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

Amelia B. ★★★★★

The colors are just as vibrant in person as they looked online. I’ve been using just two strands for delicate detailing, and the way the light catches each stitch is really lovely.

Richard ★★★★★

Picked up a few of these for a floral project and the strands separate cleanly without tangling. The colors are deep and vibrant, perfect for adding dimension to small details.

Carter ★★★★★

I've been switching between this and regular cotton floss for a project, and the way the 7 strands separate so cleanly makes fine detail work much less fussy. The brightness of the colors really pops on the fabric — exactly what I needed for satin stitch highlights.
