My favorite blues from Au Ver à Soie, together in one palette! Spun "Alger" silk thread for hand embroidery from Au Ver à Soie Paris, in an exclusive range of irresistible, ocean-inspired hues. 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 OCEANA 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!

Scarlett ★★★★★

The silk has that lovely, slightly matte sheen you only get from real spun thread, and this ocean-inspired set covers every shade I need for a wave-themed piece. The strands separate cleanly without fraying, which makes stitching a pure pleasure.

Timothy I. ★★★★★

The colors in this palette are exactly the ocean blues I was hoping for, deep and clear without any muddiness. The silk has that lovely soft sheen that makes stitching feel extra special, and the strands separate cleanly.

William ★★★★★

The twist on the spool is so much smoother than my usual silk floss—no tangles even when I’m stitching in low light. These ocean blues blend like actual water, perfect for a wave motif I just finished.
