Much of the time I think this depends a lot on the purpose for which you want it. Different types of threads are suitable for different projects.<\/p>\n<p>For me, perle thread is probably my all time favourite thread. That&#8217;s because it has a nice shine, is a non-divisible thread, and is available in a range of weights and colours. Of course I like using it for Hardanger, but also Portuguese whitework, and freestyle embroidery. If you give me a choice between perle thread and stranded floss in the same colour scheme, I&#8217;ll choose the perle version over the stranded floss version any day.<\/p>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_3587\" style=\"width: 284px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vettycreations.com.au\/white-threads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/silk-rolls.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3587\" src=\"http:\/\/vettycreations.com.au\/white-threads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/silk-rolls.jpg\" alt=\"Stitches and Spice silk\" title=\"silk-rolls\" width=\"274\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3587\" srcset=\"http:\/\/vettycreations.com.au\/white-threads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/silk-rolls.jpg 274w, http:\/\/vettycreations.com.au\/white-threads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/silk-rolls-137x150.jpg 137w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 274px) 100vw, 274px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3587\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gorgeous Stitches and Spice silk wound onto cardboard tubes<\/p><\/div>Another favourite of mine would have to be Stitches and Spice&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stitchesandspice.com.au\/stitches\/contents\/en-us\/d1277.html\" target=\"_blank\">single ply silk<\/a>. I just love its shine and the appearance of reeled silk. Naomi, who dyes this thread, has a lovely range of colours, and I love the fact that they have slight variation of tone (and sometimes colour) along the thread. It makes a lovely effect when stitching. When stitching with this thread, you can twist it for a different effect than you get if you make sure it lays completely flat (and not twisted). It means that you can get a range of effects.<\/p>\n<p>I also do like DMC&#8217;s Color Variations threads. They have a great range of colours. And Cosmo Seasons have lovely colours, at a great price.<\/p>\n<p>I recently received a set of Dinky Dyes silks. They are gorgeous, but I have yet to explore them properly. I just haven&#8217;t had time (what a surprise!) but I am looking forward to doing this in the future.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re some of the threads I like to use.
