Shinju—100% Spun Silk, tightly twisted
--similar in size #5 perle
--3-ply thread, not designed to separate the strands
--the twist is tight, but it doesn't twist back upon itself.
--the beauty of this thread is amplified when stitching knots, such as Bullion Knots, Bullion Loops, French Knots and Bullion Roses to name just a few. If you wrap in what many stitchers consider to be the “right direction", your stitching appears matte and organic. If you wrap it in the opposite direction, your stitching is detailed and firm, plus the thread has a reflective sheen.
--suitable for decorative stitches on 13- or 18-mesh canvases
--perfect for wool felt embroidery
The silk is from the Bombyx mori silk worm, often referred to as "mulberry" silk.
"Shinju" means pearl in Japanese.

We use acid dyes for all of our silk dyeing.
We heat the silk until all of the dye is absorbed. We allow the silk to cool down overhight.
We rinse the silk until the water runs clear.
