Undyed cotton and silk thread

These are the same silk and cotton threads that I dye, and are presented here in small quantities for you to dye or paint yourself.
You can find tutorials for botanical and fibre-reactive dyeing online, and you can easily paint thread using fabric paints. My preferred choice for this is Jacquard Dye-na-Flow, which behaves much like dye and doesn't change the hand (the softness) of the thread.
Alternatively of course you can stitch with these threads as they are - white is always useful for highlighting and adding brightness to your work.
Some threads are 'natural' white, some are bleached bright white; the details and approximate yardages are below.
The silks are mulberry spun silk; cottons are mercerised where stated.

Silk boucle - glossy, textured loopy yarn, off-white, 8 yards
TS3 Silk 8/2nm, roughly equivalent to perle 3 - off-white, 10 yards
TS5 Silk 16/2 nm, roughly equivalent to perle 5 - off-white, 20 yards
TS8 Silk 20/2 nm, normally equivalent to perle 8 but this current batch is finer than usual and is more like a slightly thicker perle 12 - off-white, 25 yards
TS12 Silk 30/2 nm, roughly equivalent to perle 12 - off-white, 30 yards
Fine silk, 60/2 nm, roughly similar to one strand of DMC - off-white, 40 yards
Extra fine silk, 120/2 nm, half as fine as the fine silk - off-white, 80 yards

TC3 Mercerised cotton, 5/2, roughly equivalent to perle 3 - bright white, 10 yards
TC5 Mercerised cotton, 8/2, roughly equivalent to perle 5 - bright white, 20 yards
TC8 Fine cotton perle, similar to a fine perle 8 - off-white, 25 yards
FC Mercerised fine cotton, 16/2, roughly similar to one/two strands of DMC - antique white (not as white as the brights, but lighter than the silk), 30 yards
DMC 6-strand cotton floss - not as white as the brights, but lighter than the fine cotton

The size and shape of the skeins means that they count as a large letter for mailing purposes. This is too high for a single skein, but you can add any number of skeins of any type or colour to a collective purchase for no additional cost.
