Spun "Alger" silk thread for hand embroidery from Au Ver à Soie Paris, in a range of bold, daring colors I've picked for you! 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 CAVALCADE palette.

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

Each Sublime Stitching x Au Ver à Soie palette is packed in a reusable envelope for storing your silks. Use the window cutout to continue pulling from the skeins!

Abigail L. ★★★★★

The way this silk separates into single strands is almost magical—I can get down to one or two threads without any fraying or tangling. The color payoff on the fabric is so rich and glossy that it makes my embroidery look like a painting.

Edward ★★★★★

I’ve been stitching with this thread for a week now, and the way it separates down to a single strand without fraying is honestly a game-changer for my fine detail work. The loose ply makes each stitch feel silky and smooth, and the colors are so bold they pop right off the linen.

Sofia Q. ★★★★★

These colors are so rich and saturated, they make the stitches pop off the fabric. The loose twist does make it a bit delicate on the needle, but it's totally manageable and worth it for that gorgeous, subtle sheen.
