Ahimsa Peace Silk Thread

Click to Enlarge

For the first time ever, a 100% Peace silk thread that is fine enough for even the finest of handsewing. This thread is perfect for sewing machines and when used with Ahimsa Peace silk fabric, it will dye flawlessly. This is truly a wonderful find!

Excellent for hand sewing and quilting. Weaving weft and warp, and the ultimate of fine laces. Designed and spun especially and exclusively for Aurora Silk.

This is a 3/2/210 Metric Count, cable ply, fine silk thread, spun of 100% Ahimsa (TM) Bombyx mori also known as "mulberry" cultivated silk, from cocoons raised lovingly on small family farms in the southern part of India. Spinning is done in a small mill, locally owned, in India, and the production, which is part of the Ahimsa (TM) Peace silk project, is overseen by the patent holder, a knowledgeable person who is also an inspector for quality for the Indian government's handmade textile arts shops. This is a Fully Fair Trade product, fully sustainable, and 100% Truely Eco.

"It's also the best sewing machine thread I have ever worked with!" -Cheryl Kolander

Ahimsa Peace silk yarnAhimsa™ Peace Silk Yarn

100% AHIMSA (tm) PEACE SILK YARN

The same quality of silk as the above thread, now in a fine yarn.

Can be used for machine embroidery in the bobbin of most machines. For hand sewing, weaving and fine textile art.

A cable ply of three strand of a fine two ply twisted together, tightly. (3/2/60 m.c.)

"This is actually the same size as my fine 2-ply which I have done the 120 Aurora Silk colours on for about 40 years now. But it looks and feels so different because of the tight cable ply.

I'll be doing colours on small skeins, testing this out for what it's like after dyeing. Let me know if you want colours; I intend to do them." - Cheryl Kolander (All colours 100% Naturally hand dyed.)
