Soie 1003



Au Ver à Soie Soie 1003 is a 3 ply spun silk with a moderate lustre, smooth, soft. It is available in a range of 780 colours available from stock, in the same colours as Soie Perlée.

It is made of the best quality spun silk (called strusas) which gives it an unrivalled regularity, lustrous and softness. Contrary to our competitors, our thread does not snarl in the needle and has a good tensile strength. It resists also very well to abrasion. We make great care, great pains to see that this product is properly made. It is considered as a reference thread in all needlework activities.

Dyed in skeins to guarantee an homogeneous colour, it is put on cones, 150 m. reel.

  • Tricks of the trade to use easily the Soie 1003 in hand embroidery works :
    - To avoid abrasion use 45 cm maximum of thread to embroider.
    - We recommend also to smear your hands with Au Ver à Soie hand cream to have them as soft and smooth as possible. It will make easier your work.
    - We also put a film of this cream on your thread so that you will reduce the frictional force
