Rajmahal Art Silks Floss

So beautiful to touch and work with, such a soft and shiny thread and what colors!!!  Very bright and beautiful.  As it is rayon and silk you have to use short strands when embroidering as it will fray after a while.   Also if you have any rough spots on your hands it will catch.  Use hand cream before you embroider to soften the snags.  I like to mix it with Silk Ribbon to make really outstanding pieces.  I especially like to use the greens as my stems rather than use ribbon, adds a dimensional look that otherwise will be missing if you just use ribbon.

Rajmahal is perfect for hand embroidery and needlecraft of all styles, including silk ribbon, stumpwork, miniature and Brazilian work, smocking, lace-making, cross stitch, crazy quilting, canvas work, petit point, weaving, fringe and tassel-making, and braiding.  The addition of Silk filbers makes this floss behave unlike Rayon floss which tends to gather static electricity - this I know from experience not just on the package or on someone else's website.

$1.90 per 8.75 yard skeins - 6 stranded 65% viscose rayon/35% silk floss
