Au Ver a Soie® Soie Surfine - Birch Silk Thread Kit
A cozy set of warm neutrals! Add this beautiful set to your stitching basket. Inspired by the soft, natural tones of birch bark and woodland, this collection brings together three warm taupe shades that blend effortlessly into any project.
These versatile neutrals are perfect for shading, outlines, and sampler alphabets, and they lend a gentle, natural warmth to everything from florals to houses and landscapes. Soie Surfine’s crisp definition shows off every stitch on fine linen, making it especially lovely for lettering and text in counted thread work. Its fine weight lies beautifully on the fabric, giving your stitching a light, delicate look.
A quietly beautiful trio for samplers, heirloom projects, and everyday stitching.

- Use for fine hand sewing, appliqué, cross stitch, and machine or hand sewing
- Cross stitchers use it on finer count linens — it gives crisp definition so you can see every stitch, without railroading the thread into the linen, giving it a light, delicate appearance
- It is recommended to use for text stitching in counted thread work as it gives the lettering more crisp definition
- If you are sewing something fine, this is your thread
- A favorite for fine hand embroidery and counted thread work
- Does not add bulk to seams — silk thread compresses when ironed, unlike cotton — a critical issue when working with fine points in piecing and machine appliqué
- For hand appliqué, Sharon prefers this thread as it is easy to use and disappears into the fabric
