Flea Market Item 26-247

These are a beautiful set of vintage French silk sewing threads,

The spools show the words Soies et Merceries (“Silks and Haberdashery”), a common designation on French thread labels. The blue emblem printed on the spool ends resembles the trademarks used by several French silk-thread manufacturers.

This weight of thread was commonly used for:

• fine garment construction

• couture dressmaking

• heirloom sewing

• embroidery

• hand quilting

• decorative topstitching
