Silk Buttonhole Twist

100% Silk, 9 weight, 20 m card

This thread is our tightest twist and is specifically designed for hand sewing buttonholes so there is no need to wax it before using. Although this is made for buttonholes the thread is more coarse than that found on most original garments.

Tire thread is made only from the highest grade of filament silk and sold mostly for machine sewing. It will slide effortlessly through the machine. The twist is designed to prevent slipping and skipping of stitches forming a strong seam.

Our silk thread is available in up to 171 colors so if you don’t see your color preference amongst our selection let us help you find the best match, however because silk has a natural luminosity a near match will reflect the fabric color and appear to be a close match. Failing that silk has a natural affinity for dye and the lighter colors may be used to dye the color of your choice. Ask us about dyes that have been developed especially for silk.
