Welcome to Stitching Life at Big Cartel

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, so 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. Alternatively, 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 identical - just very similar):

TS3.1 milkshake - palest yellow-cream with very pale pinks
TS3.2 palest peach - similar in tone to TS3.1 but more peachy/pink than yellow
TS3.3 shell - very pale pinks
TS3.4 pretty pink - pale to medium cool pinks
TS3.5 fuchsia pink - red-pinks with lilac and violet highlights
TS3.6 pinks - rose pinks with flashes of blue-lilacs
TS3.7 pink purples - bright fuchsia pinks with lilac flashes
TS3.7a pink purples - as TS3.7 but slightly more purple and the pink is slightly darker
TS3.8 wisteria - pale pink-lilac, like wisteria flowers
TS3.9 powder blue - pale blues with a tiny random flash of pink
TS3.10 bright blue - clear blues with beautiful aqua and violet tones
TS3.11 grey blue - medium blues with subtle grey tones
TS3.12 green gold - medium fresh greens with golden highlights
TS3.13 pale jade - medium pale blue-greens
TS3.14 mermaid - the colour of a mermaid's tail - blues, greens and golds
TS3.15 golden taupe - taupe/olive/khaki tones - prettier than it sounds

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