Mulberry spun silk perle 3 single skein

£3.25

Mulberry silk thread in skeins of approximately 10 yards, hand-dyed with Procion, and roughly equivalent to perle 3 embroidery thread - quite chunky and substantial, and good for both stitching and couching. Silk thread has a high sheen, a beautiful soft texture, and is a lovely, luxurious thread to stitch with. As always, I can't guarantee that anything is completely colourfast. Yardage estimates are approximate.

The size and shape of the skeins means that they count as a large letter, for mailing purposes - the postage cost is too expensive for a single skein, but you can add several of these to another purchase for no additional postage cost. It costs the same to post one skein as twenty. I have other single skeins available at present so you can curate your own collection by choosing from each selection.

Please use the drop down menu to select (please note - where multiples exist, they are not necessarily identical - just very similar):

TS3.1 milkshake - palest yellow-cream with very pale pinks
TS3.2 sunrise - bright yellows and pinks
TS3.3 sunset - more muted than 3.2, pink, gold and peach tones
TS3.4 nut brown - warm brown/taupe shades
TS3.5 rose - slightly greyish muted rose pinks
TS3.6 dusky lilac - muted greyish lilacs, very pretty
TS3.7 grey pink - pale silvery greys with very pale pink-lilacs
TS3.8 palest lilac - very pale pinkish lilacs
TS3.9 mountain - medium-dark blue/grey/magenta tones
TS3.10 rain - warm greys and pale blues with taupe highlights
TS3.11 blue - medium sky blue tones with subtle aqua/grey tint
TS3.12 celery - pale golden greens with pale jade highlights
TS3.13 greens - pale/bright yellow-greens alternating with blue-greens
TS3.14 sage - pale sage grey-greens
TS3.15 warm grey - slightly pinkish warm greys

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.
