2500 Silk Art China Natural 100% Mulberry Silk Floss Handmade Embroidery Woven Jewelry Threads DIY Kits 50 Colors 336 feet SIX001

I received these in the mail a few weeks ago and I couldn’t be more happy. The delivery takes a while since it’s shipped from China but it arrived right when the estimated delivery date was, and with this affordable price, it was worth the wait. These silk threads are so vibrant and pretty! I ordered them to make headbands for handmade books, but I can imagine it will be beautiful as an embroidery. It comes with 10 color coordinated bundles that has 5 different colors, giving you 50 colors total. The bundles easily come apart into separate colors. Like others said in the reviews, it is pretty easy to get tangled and because they have such fine fiber and can get snagged on plastic edges or even hang nails and dry skin. But as long as you are patient and you take your time it’ll be fine. In fact, I kind of find it therapeutic to unravel the threads and wrapping them around a bobbin by hand. Plus, you really can’t beat this price for such quality threads. But after all, if you get irritated or inpatient easily, or simply don’t have time to spare, then this is not for you and you’re probably better off paying a bit more for something easier to manage.

I have man types of silk thread. This is almost impossible to work with, the colours run and I wasted most of the thread as it frays and catches on everything then tangles too easily. A nightmare.

Lost 1 star for packaging and another for duplicating colours. 3 pinks and 2 oranges duplicated. Also no blues in this package. Apart from that very useful to have as it is thicker than my usual pure silks that I use. Probably, overall, worth the money. Just a pain to unravel. If you do not wind them onto plastic bobbins they will become unusable very quickly. Plenty of patience needed for these silks.

Lustrous. Nice gradations of colour. For patient and smooth fingers, the loosely twisted thread can get caught easily.

It's not thread, can't be used. It has been chucked. It's a risk shopping online without seeing the stuff you buy.
