Gloriana Threads - Hand-dyed silk ribbons and thread for fine needlework

Gloriana Threads offers several lines of hand-dyed threads and ribbons for fine embroidery.

We are pleased to have added to our wonderful collection of threads the Gloriana Silks.

 The silks are a spun silk thread that has the silk's beauty, luster, and shine, but doesn't catch on your hands.

The size of one strand is comparable to other stranded silks, such as Splendor, Soie Cristale, and Soie d'Alger.
Gloriana Silk is soft and remarkably easy to stitch with.

Washing Gloriana silks

Gloriana silks are washable in cold water; washing instructions are on our new labels. In case the label doesn't have washing information, it is as follows: wash quickly with mild soap (such as Orvus), rinse thoroughly, and blot out all excess moisture immediately. Be sure that the rinse water runs clear before drying. Iron the piece dry using a warm, dry iron (do not use steam) placing the embroidery right side down on a clean, dry terry cloth towel and covering the wrong side with a pressing cloth.

If, as you iron, you see any sign of color bleeding rinse the piece immediately and start the drying process over again. Do not leave the piece to dry overnight since it would mean you won't be around if any last moisture escaping causes color bleeding.
