•12 strand 120/2 silk floss - 5yd skein. Tudor Silk Floss is the perfect silk thread for stitchers who like to stitch over one or two threads on high count linen and/or stitch over one on 32 to 40 count. It is also ideal for silk gauze. It adds variation in size to blackwork, creating contrast in texture. Tudor Silk adds versatility to stitching because it allows the stitcher to achieve the exact coverage desired on linen. Stitchers can combine strands of Gloriana Silk Floss and Tudor Silk Floss to achieve coverage not previously possible. Tudor Silk Floss is an exceptionally lovely twelve strand silk floss manufactured in Switzerland. It is a 120/2 thread; most other silk flosses including Gloriana Silk Floss are 60/2. The first number is the size of the thread (the higher the number, the finer the thread) and the second number is the number of plies in each strand.
