Au Ver À Soie® Soie 100/3, is a single ply highly twisted spun silk thread used for embroidery, counted thread, canvaswork and hand, machine and long-arm quilting.

Soie 100/3 is perfect for hand embroidery work including: outlining facial details, and smoothing curves in canvas work. Use Soie 100/3 for backstitching around a curve and notice how the jagged edges on the shape disappear.

Soie 100/3 is perfect for couching! Use it to couch real metal threads of course, but it can be used to couch Trebizond, Soie d’Alger and Soie Perlee as well.
Outline stitching gives sharp, crisp delineation for canvas and linen applications. Vary the number of plies for outlining to provide depth or raised effect.
Soie 100/3 is the perfect thread for blackwork, because it is so highly twisted when doing “Holbein Work” as you do your “return trip”, you cannot pierce the thread.
Use waxed for couching Real Metal Threads or Trebizond. Soie 100/3 not cut into the metal like polyester thread.

Available colors as noted.
