Silk 'N Colors (SNC) by The Thread Gatherer.
Silken Chenille - 100% Silk. Silk 'N Colors is The Thread Gatherer's premiere and best selling line of fiber that they offer. It is composed entirely of silk with every color hand dyed in their studio. Each skein comes packaged with 5 yards and can be separated down to 12 ply. This line is used frequently by stitchers as silk is the quintessential fiber to stitch with, obtaining the most beautiful sheen, and the smoothest pull through fabric.
It is a 12-ply thread meaning you can use from 1 up to 12 strands at a time. It initially wants to separate into three groups of 4 strands. If you 'flower' or 'fluff' up the end, you will more easily see the initial separation. For cross stitch we recommend using 2-ply on 28 count, 1 ply on 32 count or higher. All other applications may require you to do a test sample to determine the correct ply for your project.
*Please note that the colour of the fiber you are order is representative of what you see on your screen but dye lots, resolutions, and monitors do vary.
