Silk Mori®
Kreinik Silk Mori® is a 6-strand spun silk, meaning it has a creamy luster. Use it as you would cotton embroidery floss: separate the strands and recombine the appropriate number for your stitch and fabric selection. Ideal for samplers, cross stitch, needlepoint, crazy quilting, embroidery, and other fiber arts. Silk should be dry cleaned for the best care.
- Silk Mori comes on cards of 8 yards
- The Milkpaint range is a specially dyed set of colors based on historical shades
Note: this thread is now on cards not in skein form.

How to use Kreinik Silk Mori®
Kreinik Silk Mori® is a 6-strand spun silk. That means:
- as a spun silk, it has a creamy natural luster (as opposed to a filament silk, which has a bright sheen)
- you can separate the strands and recombine to suit whatever your stitch is on whatever fabric or canvas you're using—two strands of Silk Mori is ideal for cross stitch on 14-count Aida, for instance.
- you can use it in place of cotton embroidery floss, when you want to elevate a design (creating an heirloom), when you want to show off the beautiful natural sheen of silk (like in samplers), or simply when you want to spoil your eyes and your fingers (it's so soft!)
