What projects is it suitable for? This noble wheat shade is a true must-have for lovers of designer patterns. It is often found in the keys of popular Mirabilia and Nora Corbett designs (particularly for stitching luxurious hair, clothing elements, or natural textures). This silk is also perfect for autumn motifs, intricate vintage samplers, silk surface embroidery, and decorative stitches.

💡 Stitcher's Tip: Hand-dyed silk threads require particularly delicate handling. It is not recommended to wash them in hot water or with harsh detergents to prevent color bleeding (if necessary, wash very quickly in cool water). For comfortable work and to prevent the thread from tangling or fraying, cut strands no longer than 40–50 cm
