Silk Thread

YLI silk threads are the choice of some of the most accomplished designers throughout the world, and specified in many books and instructions.  YLI offers more variety, in more colors, than any other.   All YLI silk threads are 100% pure filament silk, the very highest quality silk thread in the world. 

YLI SILK - 100 wt
Very fine for Hand Appliqué & Fine Heirloom Sewing

200mm spools - $ 6.50 each

For machine sewing 100 wt silk, you should use a Microtex 70 or an Embroidery 75/11.  Use 100wt (thinnest)

For hand stitching use a size 10 Milliners or Sharps  needle.

Not Just for Sewing - Great for Fly Tying Too!

There are other uses for this wonderful thread - even the guys can use it!   Bill Oyster from Georgia explains how he uses silk thread on his fishing rods:

"The YLI 100 spools are popular among the makers of classic style bamboo fly rods (such as myself). The line guides are held to the rod by winding silk thread over each end of the little wire guides foot. The silk is then given multiple layers of varnish to secure it in place and gives a nice smooth, translucent effect. You should be able to see some close-ups of this on my website - www.oysterbamboo.com."
