Kimono Silk is a 100-weight, 2-ply silk thread that delivers extraordinary sheen, incredible fineness, and the type of stitching precision that elevates heirloom projects to their highest level.

What projects are Kimono Silk spools best used for?

Kimono Silk spools are perfect for English paper piecing, hand applique, machine stitch-in-the-ditch, micro-stippling, heirloom machine quilting, and any project where an ultra-fine, nearly invisible stitch is desired. The natural silk sheen adds elegance to visible decorative stitching as well.

How many yards are on a Kimono Silk spool?

Kimono Silk spools typically contain a few hundred yards. Check individual product listings for exact yardage per spool as the count varies by product version and color.

Is silk thread stronger than polyester thread?

Weight for weight, silk is one of the strongest natural fibers available and produces very strong stitches despite its fine diameter. For 100-weight applications, Kimono Silk delivers both fineness and durability that synthetic alternatives struggle to match.

What colors are available in Kimono Silk?

Kimono Silk is available in a wide spectrum of colors from white and cream neutrals to rich jewel tones and delicate pastels. Browse the full color range to find the perfect silk thread shade for your next heirloom or specialty project.
