Embroidery Thread - Silk

Here you will find our full range of over 300 Pure Silk embroidery colours.
 

Our Pure Silk thread is continuous filament silk which means the silk thread from the silk moth is un-broken (they are one continuous thread) compared to other silk suppliers who may provide spun silk which is the remnants spun together. We offer our Pure silk threads in six different thread thicknesses that we custom make ourselves, for varied use in embroidery and craft techniques.

If you are wondering how thick our silk threads are and you are looking for a comparison compared to the likes of DMC's Cotton thread for example, please see below for the closest thread thickness match, they are not exact matches as Cotton and silk are very different, so approximate only, but it will give you the general idea :

DMC 6 stranded Cotton as it comes = DeVere Yarns 72 thread 

DMC split down and using 5 strands = DeVere Yarns 60 thread

DMC split down and using 3 strands = DeVere Yarns 36 thread

DMC split down and using 2 strands = DeVere Yarns 18 thread

DMC split down and using 1 strand = DeVere Yarns 12 thread

DMC split down even further into 12 fine strands = DeVere Yarns 6 thread
