Hint of Pink on Moonspun
Color name: Hint of Pink

Moonspun is Storyteller Stitchery's 100% silk thread, hand-dyed in small batches in our studio in Arizona. Silk has a natural luminosity that wool cannot replicate. It catches light differently with every stitch, adding depth and sheen to finished needlepoint and embroidery. Because each skein is hand-dyed, colors have a natural depth and variation that commercial threads cannot produce, with subtle shifts within a single color that add dimension to finished stitching.

Moonspun stitches beautifully on 18ct canvas, using a single strand for smooth, fine coverage. On 13ct canvas, two strands held together fill the canvas. It is also well suited to surface embroidery and any project where the thread's sheen is part of the visual design. Moonspun is 2-ply, cannot be separated, and is similar in weight to a Perle cotton #8.

Because silk has less memory than wool, Moonspun lays exceptionally flat and is well suited to backgrounds, smooth geometric fills, and highlight areas where sheen is part of the design intention. If you are used to working with 6-stranded cotton floss, Moonspun is similar in weight to stitching with 3 strands at the same time.

10 yards per card.

Caring for Hand-Dyed Fibers

These threads are hand-dyed in small batches in our studio in Arizona.

Steam blocking is recommended for finished needlepoint and embroidery pieces — it relaxes the fibers and evens the stitches without exposing the thread to water.

Our dyes are professional-grade and mostly colorfast, but as with all hand-dyed fiber, we cannot guarantee 100% colorfastness. Please test before washing any finished piece by wetting a small sample and pressing it against a white cloth or paper towel.

Colors may vary slightly between dye batches. If you are stitching a large piece, we recommend purchasing all thread for that piece at once.
