This listing is for a set of 16 vintage wooden spools wound with naturally dyed silk embroidery thread.
This silk thread is non-divisible.
The amount of naturally dyed silk thread on each spool measures about 10 yards.

The assorted colors of silk thread in this collection include shades of
Green dyed with indigo, weld and coreopsis,
Blue dyed with indigo,
Red and pink dyed with cochineal and madder,
Purple dyed with madder, cochineal, and indigo,
Yellow and orange dyed with coreopsis flowers, weld, and madder
Brown and tan dyed with walnut hulls

These threads were hand dyed and wound by me onto each vintage wooden spool.
The winding is not "machine-uniform"
Since these wooden spools have been previously used, they may have nicks, dents, and missing or damaged labels.
I've done my best to show the true natural shades of these silk threads.
Please remember that each computer monitor displays color in its' own way.

These naturally dyed silk threads are perfect any textile art project that could use a touch of lovely, natural color.
I recommend hand washing in cool water with mild soap and line drying in the shade to preserve the delicate luster and color of the silk.
These old wooden spools wrapped with naturally dyed silk thread would be a lovely addition to a vintage spool collection.

Thanks for visiting!
