$24 $40 In stock

Category: Threads and Floss

Spun "Alger" silk thread for hand embroidery from Au Ver à Soie Paris, in my carefully selected range of must-have, essential grays. (Plus one explosive, magenta pink!) This palette also includes black and pearl white.

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 GRAYSCALE 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!

Every single shade in this set is exactly the kind of gray I keep reaching for, and that pink is a surprisingly perfect pop. The strands are so smooth and twist evenly, which makes stitching feel almost effortless. I’ve already used half the palette on one project without any tangling.

Michael ★★★★★

The matte finish on these grays is exactly what I needed for shading—no shine to fight with, just soft, workable depth. The magenta is a fun surprise, and the silk glides through linen without tangling once.

Emma ★★★★★

The twist on the skeins is tight and even, so the silk glides through linen without fraying mid-stitch. I'm already three shades in on a gray-scale botanical piece and the sheen is exactly the soft, old-world finish I hoped for. That magenta surprise is a fun little kick of personality in an otherwi
