Frosted Silk Purl #2 (18")
$ 6.25 - $ 106.25
Visit product page →This is the most amazing silk purl - it is frosted by having a gilt strip wrapped around the purl such that you can still see the color of the thread. It matches the line of silks used for my tiny silk purls and silk check in all sizes so can be used in concert with them for interesting layered effects. Add a glitter to your silk purl work!
The size is #2 which is close to the silk purl #2 using the Au Ver a Soie line of silks so they can be used together but are bigger than the tiny silk purls and so needles slide in and out easier.

Thistle Threads
Silk Wrapped Purl Size 2
$ 7.90
Visit product page →These threads are copper wire wrapped with filament silk and then coiled over a mandrel into a purl. They are couched in place with matching silk threads, such as Au Ver a Soie 100/3 or Soie Paris. The purls can be couched down as seen to outline and fill figures. They can also be stretched and used to form hair for lions or people in stumpwork. Often they are cut into shorter pieces and threaded onto silk to be sewn in place, forming loops which stick up off the fabric. Entire flowers were filled using this technique.
Individual colors are sold that match the Cabinet of Curiosities Historic Colors. Note that garnet color can work as the dark value for both the flame and redde families.Purple is now again the original 3336. If you want the redder version, email me.
