YLI Silk #100 Thread is 100% pure filament silk, the very highest quality silk thread in the world, traditionally used in fine embroidery and appliqué. Thanks to Diane Gaudynski, a nationally known quilter, designer and educator, it has also become a very popular quilting thread. YLI’s original 200m spools were too small for quilting a full-sized quilt, and so with her guidance, 12 colors from the YLI Silk #100 series were selected to be wound on 1000m mini king spools. They are available individually, or in 2 collections of 5 spools each:

• The Basic Collection
• The Signature Collection

Presencia’s Finca Mouline is a 100% mercerized Egyptian cotton 6 ply embroidery floss characterized by vibrant colors and creamy texture, and is solid dyed, bleachproof, and colorfast. Each skein contains 8 meters. The collection of 252 colors includes solids, variegated, and metallics. Conversion to both DMC and Anchor brand embroidery floss is available.

Weeks Dye Works Over Dyed Pearl Cotton, Sizes #5 and #8 are 100% hand over-dyed cotton, with the #8 being the finest of the weights. Both weights work well for the stitches on wool appliqué and penny rugs. The #5 is the most commonly used size because it draws some attention to the stitches on an appliquéd piece, without taking away from the overall design. Since the #8 is much finer, the appliqué piece changes in appearance and the wool’s color, texture and shape become the focal point of the design and not the stitches themselves. We carry the full line of colors in both weights.
