Soie Gobelins



Au Ver à Soie Soie Gobelins is a 2 ply high twisted filament silk that is smooth, soft, and lustrous. It is available in a range of 104 colours available from stock, in the same colours as Soie d’Alger.

It is made of the best qualities of raw silk which give it an unrivalled brightness 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, 50 m reel.

    - 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.
