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. Au Ver à Soie silks have been made by the same family since 1820!

Each skein measures 5 meters, 6 shades per range.

  • 100% spun silk

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 14 reviews)

Elizabeth Z. ★★★★★

The purple shades are exactly as jewel-like as promised, each one deep and rich enough to make my embroidery pop. The loosely plied twist means I can split it down to a single strand without fraying, which is a lifesaver for fine detail work. It's a splurge, but the feel of this silk is worth every

Lucy ★★★★★

The strands separate so cleanly that even my clumsy fingers can work with just two threads at a time. These purples have a subtle sheen that photographs beautifully, and the loosely plied texture makes stitching feel almost effortless.

Richard ★★★★★

The jewel-like purples in this selection are even richer in person, and the silk’s sheen makes the stitches almost glow. I’ve been using it for a small floral piece, and the strands separate so cleanly that blending shades feels effortless.
