Soie d'Alger 1731 Bleu Gien

Au Ver a Soie®, Soie d'Alger is a stranded Spun silk with 7 plies, which are easily divided. Soft, lustrous and smooth, it is made from a spun silk called "strusas" which gives it unrivaled regularity for hand embroidery.
Soie d'Alger is perfect for cross stitch and hand embroidery on linen. It is particularly nice to use in contrast with Soie Perlee in the same design---one thread having a high sheen, the other a soft luster.
Soie d'Alger is durable for canvas work. Does not pill.
All seven plies cover tent stitch on 13 mesh.
Soie d'Alger makes the most beautiful cording and tassels for needlework finishing.
