Au Ver a Soie® Soie Surfine - Riverstone Silk Thread Kit

Smooth, cool, and quietly beautiful. The Riverstone collection is inspired by stones worn soft by running water, bringing together a calm palette of greys, from pale pebble to deep slate.

These are the workhorse neutrals every stitching basket needs. Use them for shading, outlines, and lettering in samplers, for subtle details in stitched landscapes and animals, or for fine hand sewing where you want your stitches to blend right in. Soie Surfine's crisp definition keeps every stitch clean and precise on fine linen.

Add this soothing set to your stitching basket and let your work flow.

• 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
