Ovale Silk™ – Au Ver à Soie – 30 Meter Spool

The Ovale Silk™ from Au Ver à Soie is a pure natural silk thread, made in France according to the historical expertise of the Au Ver à Soie house.

Composed of very lightly twisted silk filaments, it has an almost flat structure that gives it an exceptional shine and a particularly smooth and luminous appearance. Light reflects directly off the silk fibers, allowing for refined embroidery with deep and vibrant colors.

A particularly fine and luminous silk

The Ovale Silk stands out from twisted silk threads due to its great softness and unmatched luster. It allows for delicate and precise stitches while offering excellent decorative power.

It is also possible to separate and take a few filaments to obtain an extremely fine thread, particularly suitable for meticulous works and very fine supports.

Uses

The Ovale Silk is particularly suitable for:

• needle painting and subtle gradients;

• traditional embroidery;

• Japanese embroidery;

• embroidery on silk gauze;

• particularly fine and delicate embroidery works;

• canvas and certain tapestry works;

• restoration of old embroideries;

• trimmings, lace, and certain weaving works.

Its great shine allows for playing with the orientation of the stitches: depending on how the silk is laid, the light reflects differently and brings relief, depth, and nuances to the embroidery.

Usage Tips

Since the Ovale Silk is very lightly twisted, it requires more delicacy than a standard embroidery thread. It is advisable to work with relatively short lengths, about 40 to 45 cm maximum, to preserve the surface and shine of the silk.

Also, be sure to let the thread lay naturally and avoid excessive twisting during embroidery.
