After several years on hiatus, we were finally able to again source this popular silk thread. It has been Kristin's favorite for years, and she always has several spools in her bag of threads.
The muted luster comes off almost earthy, especially when compared to some polished perle cottons. Use it for embroidery, sashiko, art quilting, etc. We also like it for adding stitched details to a Modern Rice Pouch Kit.
It is similar in weight to a perle cotton #12. It's twisted, so does not divide.
The tin with a hinged lid contains 4 complimentary thread colors:
- 100% silk
- 2-ply
- 300m per spool
- Colorfast
- Hand-dyed in India
