Tranquility—100% Reeled Silk—fine cord

--equivalent in size and twist to Victorian Buttonhole Twist
--thread size is between a #8 and #12 perle
--has tight twist, giving a “cord” appearance
--each of the 3-strands has more than 70 parallel, unbroken silk filaments
--the minimal twist keeping the silk filaments together, gives this silk thread more sheen and luster than the spun silk threads Harmony and Zen Shin. The tight ply twist makes it less lustrous than Serenity
--can be divided (with care, as the silk filaments can separate from one another, especially in dry climates)

Hand-dyed in Colorado--color fast. We use acid dyes with heat and then rinse until water runs clear.
Wash in tepid or slightly warm water.

The silk is from the Bombyx mori silk worm, often referred to as "mulberry" silk.

10 yards (1/2 skein fits onto a standard sewing machine bobbin)
