Silk Serica®
Kreinik Silk Serica® is a 3-ply twisted filament silk, which means it has a beautiful bright sheen. Use it as you would a pearl cotton (it's about the size of a pearl cotton #5), or separate it and use as a flat silk (a slightly damp cosmetic sponge can help remove the ripples). Serica is a truly versatile and gorgeous thread for needlepoint (ideal coverage on 18-count canvas), embroidery, crazy quilting, Hardanger, and other fiber arts. Dry clean for the best care.

Made of 100% pure filament silk, the sheen is so rich and bright, it instantly turns any design into a work of art. Perfect in heirloom projects and designs focusing on different textures.
The most important tip to remember when working with Silk Serica: moisturize your hands with a non-greasy hand cream. This will keep the filament silk from snagging on rough spots.
