Bear 185

Sajou Perlé Silk Thread n°30 – Colour 185 Bear
These Sajou threads are “perlé” signifying that it is strongly twisted, the three strands forming almost little pearls. Perlé silk thread cannot be separated into different strands and must be used as is.
Perlé 100% silk thread is traditionally used for buttonholes as well as topstitching on fabric or leather. It is very supple and shiny.  It can also be used for cross stitch, bobbin lace or braids and trimmings. It was also commonly used in days gone by: in tapestries the finer details like the faces and hands of the figures, the centres of certain flowers or animals eyes were sewn with silk threads to obtain a contrast with the wool. Contrary to popular belief, silk thread is extremely resistant.The length of thread on each spool is 20 metres and the spools measure 2.5cm diameter with a length of 4.8cm.
