Description
A fine “Z” twist spun silk that is 130/2. A favorite for fine hand embroidery and counted thread work. Recommended for piecing, hand applique and long-arm quilting machines. Does not add bulk to seams as silk thread compresses when ironed, cotton does not—a critical issue when working with fine points in piecing and machine applique. For hand applique this thread is easy to use and disappears into the fabric.
This fiber is appropriate for embroidery on uncounted ground cloth, and counted linen in the higher thread counts, including 56ct. and higher or over 1 linen thread on 46ct and higher.
This is a beautiful silk for silk shading and other fine embroidery techniques.
Spools contain 100 meters.
