Silk and Ivory

Threads!

The 6" sampler is stitched in the "San Francisco" color scheme.
Bag from Needlepoint of Back Bay.

I can’t get enough of this fabulous blend of silk and merino wool! Silk & Ivory is my go-to fiber when I’m starting a new project, especially if I know it’s going to get heavy use. Try it once,
and the hand will have you hooked! Besides, who can resist a thread with such luscious names as Mocha, Latte, Espresso, and Cappuccino? Wait a minute - I don’t even like coffee!

Trio
Our in-stock colors. Every color of Silk & Ivory is also available in Trio. Special orders welcome (3-skein minimum).

While Silk & Ivory is intended to be used "as is," Trio is composed of three obvious strands. It was designed for easier stitching on 18-mesh canvas; Silk & Ivory tends to "pack" 18-mesh. Trio stitched "as is" covers 10-mesh very well.

I stitched French Knots on Santa's coat on a 14-mesh stocking in Trio 106 Blue Yonder. I fluffed it before stitching, just as you would floss. Although the stitch made me crazy, I achieved the 3-D effect I was shooting for.

How do I keep this gorgeous thread from pilling?
