levylisa 12 Skeins Mulberry Silk Floss Embroidery Thread Floss-Cross Stitch Threads China Silk Woven Jewelry Threads DIY Sewing Kits (Blue Gradient)

So pretty but tricky to sew with.

I purchased this thread because I thought the colors were beautiful, and they are beautiful. On opening the package I found that the thread was not separated like it shows in the picture and while trying to separate it, it became tangled and it took me forever to untangle it because this thread is simply to fine to work with. If you have dry hands, your hands are going to snag on the thread and it’s going to tangle and unravel and make a mess. I found this thread incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to work with. It’s a shame because the colors are very beautiful.

This is not actually silk, but a synthetic fiber (maybe polyester?). If you put fire to the thread it melts into a burning ball of "plastic" -- if this were silk it would burn clean. Lustrous fiber.

Hermosos colores, pero PÉSIMO empaque, vienen de a 4 colores juntos, en una sola bolsa y se enredan al sacarlos. Recomiendo que los envíen por separado

The feel of these threads is amazing and the gradient is very nice. I agree with other posts that silk is not the same as cotton thread, so do your research! The threads came in three packets of four skeins, and the static was amazing. I will get some lotion to soften my skin before setting these into spools. Great item !
