Thread Legend
This exquisite sampler has been reproduced using a palette of 27 colours from Au Ver à Soie’s range of Soie 100.3. We have provided conversions for Soie d’Alger and DMC below.
There is currently a global shortage of some shades of silk. We have liaised with Access Commodities, the US distributors for Au Ver à Soie, to identify which shades may be difficult to source. There are 2 shades of Soie 100.3 and 3 shades of Soie d’Alger where we have suggested alternative shades.
There is an error in the chart I have received so please check the HATS website before purchasing threads and stitching
