This listing is for yellow or gold silk thread. Most constructional stitching was carried out with linen thread in the 16th and 17th centuries, but Tudor tailors sometimes used coloured silk thread for finishing.

This thread has been specially selected for hand sewing and is suitable for hemming and applying guards and trims. This thread is also appropriate for embroidery.

We offer other colours of silk thread, plus both bleached and unbleached linen thread. To see all our thread options, please visit our thread section.
