fil de soie surfine rouge écarlate 650

The Soie Surfine™ Au Ver à Soie is a natural silk thread of great fineness, particularly appreciated for embroidery and sewing work that requires precision, regularity, and delicacy.

Manufactured in France by the house Au Ver à Soie, a specialist in silk threads since 1820, the Soie Surfine is a schappe silk, obtained from combed and then spun silk fibers. It is composed of 2 twisted strands, forming a fine, regular, and strong thread.

Traditionally used as “glove thread”, the Soie Surfine is perfectly suited for particularly fine and delicate seams. Its fineness and strength allowed for the precise stitching necessary for glove making. Even today, this quality makes it a particularly interesting thread for projects requiring discreet, regular, and strong stitches.

Its soft and moderate shine gives it an elegant and delicate appearance, less shiny than filament silk. It allows for very precise stitches and is particularly well-suited for fine and detailed works.

Uses

Thanks to its fineness and strength, the Soie Surfine can be used for many needlework projects:

• fine sewing and glove making;
• fine traditional embroidery;
• Blackwork and counted thread embroidery;
• cross stitch;
• miniature embroidery;
• lace;
• restoration of antique textiles;
• sewing of fine and delicate textiles;
• quilting and certain machine embroidery projects.

Its regular structure facilitates passage through the fabric and allows for clean, fine, and precise stitches, even on particularly delicate works.
