‘This wonderful silk thread from Au Ver à Soie comes in 5 metre skeins of 7 strands, in a palette of 623 colours. This silk is loosely plied and can be split easily. It is made of the best quality spun silk (called straus) which gives it an unrivalled regularity, lustre and softness, yet it also resists abrasion and shredding. It is highly versatile and a joy to work with for needle painting, surface embroidery, stumpwork, counted work and many other applications.’
Holiday Closure: We will be closing the web shop from the evening of Thursday 12th August, re-opening on Tuesday 31st August, for our much needed annual family break. You will be able to view the website during this time but not to purchase. We thank you so much for your patience over this period and for continuing to support our small family business through these difficult times. It is hugely appreciated. We are still shipping worldwide until the 12th. Please note that some of our kits are currently password protected. This is a temporary measure to allow those who have been patiently sitting on our waiting lists to purchase their chosen kits. We will remove this soon but as our kits are very popular, there is usually a waiting list for them. Please CONTACT ME if you would like to be added to a list for a kit. Dismiss
