Category: Threads and Floss

 

Spun "Alger" silk thread for hand embroidery from Au Ver à Soie Paris, in a range of lush greens (and one silvery grey) I've selected for you that will contrast beautifully when combined with each other! 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 VERDURE palette.

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

Andrew ★★★★★

I started a monochromatic leaf motif and the silvery grey thread adds such a delicate shimmer against the deep forest greens. The seven strands separate cleanly, making fine detail work effortless.

Lily ★★★★★

The way these greens layer together in a floral design makes the whole piece almost glow. The sheen is subtle but noticeable, and the thread hasn't frayed once while stitching.

James D. ★★★★★

I was a little worried about tangling with such fine strands, but the 7-ply construction separates cleanly and lays completely flat. The deep forest green has a subtle sheen that catches the light perfectly against the matte linen. It’s a joy to stitch with—no fraying or fuzz even after multiple pas
