Silk thread

AnnikaGBG

Is that a Japanese site (midori embroidery)? I tried Vicki Claytons silks a while back but I didn't really like them. Some people love those silks though and they are cheaper.

Do you wash the completed piece ? In water, just like when cotton floss is used or with a special detergent ?

Thanks,

I don't dare to use silk. It must require much higher skill than I have.

Wonderfully done; pictures DO say a thousand words don't they?  Thank you so much, the examples showing the differences in the strands by itself, by the twist, and what they look like stitches are fabulous.

You definitely have a talent for teaching. Thanks again!

My favorite silk is Gloriana.  It is amazing to stitch with,  but also a bit expensive.  I also like Caron Waterlillies and Dinky Dyes.

I bought some Au ver à soie: soie surfine on a short weekend trip to Paris in the
original shop.  This shop makes you speechless, colors you can't image, simply wonderful
