Clover 074 Silk Thread, Harvest Gold

I buy high quality clothes in silk, wool, linen and cotton. Using silk thread for the minor repairs I do makes a difference in usage and results. This is high quality thread

This thread is so beautiful in real life that the picture doesn’t do justice. It’s not as big as others and it’s a expensive, but it’s worth every Penny. The silk makes it shine so beautiful, I always mark or separate silk from wax, upholstery and regular thread. I use it for jewelry, stitching and final touches. Love love love it.

Not much more to say. It's strong thread and a great color.

It had been awhile since I last hand sewed anything, so I practiced first on a scrap of material and initially using an inexpensive thread. That thread kept shredding as I attempted to get it through the needle's eye. In sharp contrast, this silk thread went through the eye easily and the end showed no sign of fraying even when I finished my repair on my expensive item of clothing.

Bought this from Amazon so it would get here super quick for a project which I was working on. I use it to hand quilt a lining to a Chanel-like jacket I am making. It was the idea thickness and very strong. Clover brand wins again. I love Clover brand sewing accessories from Japan; I haven't been unimpressed with a single item from this brand. I had heard great things about #100 Kimono Silk Thread, so I also bought a quantity of silk threads directly from Superior Thread Co., thinking I would use the Clover until this arrived, but it is a little too thin for hand-quilting! It tangled alot easier than the Clover.

Good fine quality silk with excellent strength. Great guide wrapping. Need to use color finish for epoxy adsorption darkens color but excellent fine wrapping.

The red is so vibrant and lustrous and the thread very strong. A bit pricey but worth it

This is very nice thread for silky fabric. I used it to make a blanket for my grandson and it was like sewing with butter.

I’ve just been using it for ladder stitches, finishing stuff invisibly. It’s perfect and works so smoothly. Much less fuss.

100% silk thread is always such a giant leap above the rest. It's expensive, of course, but if you try it once, you will not be able to do without it. The feel is , well, silken. That is to say, it just slip through cloth like through butter. It never tangles or knots and the colours are brilliant because silk can take dye better that any other fibre. It is also strong and doesn't easily break. I say to myself, "I'm worth it." I think that if I choose to make something by hand, using the best of my talent and creativity, why would I even think of using lesser materials. A work is judged by it's weakest link, isn't it?

couleur tel quel et qualiter presente

Smaller/thinner than the spool shown in the photo. Colour is pretty accurate if not just a little lighter in person which worked out well for me! Thread is quite strong but the one other brand of silk thread I have is stronger.
