Tire Silk #50 3-Ply 50-Weight High Sheen Silk Embroidery Quilting Sewing Thread - 109 Yard Spool (#404 Lipstick Red)

superior threads is a great source for silk thread.. the delivery is a bit slower than i would have preferred but product, color and size is as advertised. I use for applique and embellished embroidery on applique quilts, with stunning results. very durable and beautiful results.

Nothing sees like silk thread!

It’s superb

I sew replica 18th-century clothing by hand. I needed to sew some cashmere/wool-blend fulled broadcloth and this was a perfect match for the color. My stitches are completely invisible and one spool was perfect for a set of breeches. Although I didn't use it in a machine, I think it would be great for that as well because the thread is smooth and uniform. Note that for hand sewing, this is fine, so it works best with quite small sharps.

This is a beautiful thread but can't use it on my Pfaff sewing machine. Maybe could use it if it were wound on a spool made for my machine. 😒

Used this for repair of fringe on a rug. It was a perfect solution.

This thread is indeed silk - as far as silk is in 2026, and appears to be the weight described. It's high quality, but extremely overpriced for how much thread you're getting. The thread is smooth, clean, uniform and doesn't bunch or unravel while you're using it. The thread has a pretty, and clean look when used. It's your typical, hard to sew with silk thread. The only reason it got 4 instead of 5 stars was the pricing as it felt quite stabby once I saw the amount of thread I received. Overall a good product.

I prefer to do my quilting with very fine silk thread. Won't melt like some threads and are strip over than cotton thread. Love the color choice in their Kimono line.i prefer for quilt piecing. This is a very fine thread, that if you color match becomes almost invisible.

絹の糸は初めてだけど、本当に綺麗で素敵です。色も温かみがあって理想通りでした。急遽必要でなかなか手芸店に行く機会無かったから、ネットで買えてとても助かりました。

Much smaller than I expected for a long wait and expensive thread

This works very well for my project ~ Thank you.

Unexpectedly small for the price

竿の口巻き用として購入しました。 強度もありますし絹だけあって毛羽立ちも少なくてカシュー漆の乗りもよかったです。
