Spun "Alger" silk thread for hand embroidery from Au Ver à Soie Paris, in my exclusively selected range of electric, neon colors!

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.
