Au Ver A Soie Silk Thread

Au ver A Soie is the Manufacturer of fine silk thread and yarns in France since 1820.

Soie d'Alger is a seven fly stranded silk, each strand is twisted. The silk comes in a 5 meter pull skein which means you can pull the thread out without  removing the label.

At present I offer light gold and red which can be used for couching and satin stitch when doing goldwork embroideries.

Mountmellick Embroidery Threads

The Mountmellick threads that I offer are the traditional pure white 100% cotton threads used for Mountmellick embroidery. The thread has a mat surface which contrasts nicely with the traditional satin surface of  Mountmellick fabric.

I offer the Mountmellick thread in four different sizes:

Mountmellick Thread #1: Is very fine and can be used for other forms of whitework including pulled work, embroidery Anglais and fine whitework.

Mountmellick Thread #2: Commonly two different weights of Mountmellick thread are used in mountmellick embroidery, #2 and #4 make a good combination or #3 and #4.

Mountmellick Thread #3: Near to the weight of #4 makes a good thread for stem stitch, satin stitch, fly stitch.

Mountmellick Thread #4: The heaviest of the Mountmellick threads, is great for padding and French Knots.
