Spun "Alger" silk thread for hand embroidery from Au Ver à Soie Paris, in a range of gorgeous golds I've chosen just 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 GOLD BAR 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!

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 14 reviews)

Lucy J. ★★★★★

The golds in this set are so rich and varied—I keep finding new shades to pair with each project. The silk is loosely plyed enough that splitting off a single strand for fine details feels effortless, and it glides through fabric without fraying.

Daniel U. ★★★★★

The way these seven strands separate lets me do fine detail work without any fraying, and the gold tones are rich without looking cheap. It glides through fabric smoothly, which makes long stitching sessions much easier on my hands.

Emily ★★★★★

The ply is incredibly loose, so it twists apart into whisper-thin strands without any fraying—perfect for the delicate shading I’m doing on a wedding sampler. Even the deeper golds have a soft sheen that catches light beautifully, and one strand glides through linen like butter.
