Mulberry spun silk - fine (collection)

£25.00

A beautiful collection of 10 skeins of spun silk thread, hand-dyed with Procion, approximately 40 yards per skein (so around 400 yards in total). Colours in this collection are as follows:

Straw - warm creamy yellows (or yellowy-creams)
Pink coral - warm orange-pinks
Red - bright vibrant red
Light green - vibrant spring yellow-greens
Medium green - summery leafy greens
Medium-dark green - slightly darker than the medium green
Lilac/grey-blue - pale cool blues
Summer-sky blue - brighter blues with subtle lilacs
Cornflower blue - slightly purplish blue
Magenta - hot pinks with lilac and purple highlights

Fine silk is 60/2 nm, finer than perle 12 - slightly thicker than regular machine sewing thread and roughly similar to one strand of DMC floss. It has quite a high sheen, a beautiful texture, and glides effortlessly through fabric. Good for adding fine details or small stitches. As always, colours are unique and unrepeatable, and I can't guarantee that anything is completely colourfast. Yardage estimates are approximate.

UK postage will be via standard first class; all overseas post will be via Royal Mail International Tracked.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION for non-UK customers - please read before ordering:

- Please ensure that you pick the correct country from the drop-down menu. Any orders where the address and country do not correspond (for example, a US address with UK as the country) will be cancelled and refunded. Choosing UK, when you don’t live in the UK, will cause the automated checkout to apply UK shipping rates. You must pay the correct shipping rate for your country.
- Your purchase may be subject to additional customs charges depending on your location. You can use online import tax calculators to estimate what the additional import charges will be before you buy. Please be aware that I have no control at all over how much you will be charged in import duties; it is your responsibility to find out before making a purchase.
- Your customs office may occasionally open and inspect your parcel before delivering it to you. Please understand that I have no control over this.
- When paying by card, please try and remember your purchase when your bank statement arrives. The amount will look different because of the currency conversion. If you initiate a dispute with your bank because you don’t recognise the amount, I have to prove to your bank that you did make the purchase, and I am charged a non-refundable fee even if the purchase was genuine. Please contact me before initiating a dispute if you are in any doubt about your purchase.
