This palette for flesh tones is a keeper! Packet Inclues 7 skeins of Au Ver a Soie Soie d'Alger 2 spools of Au Ver a Soie Soie Perlee 3 Spools of Au Ver a Soie Soie 100/3 Collections of silk thread organized by complexion type were designed provide the embroiderer with a realistic palette of flesh tone shades.Traditionally professional embroiderers kept their "face" silks in a separate box from their other threads.These silks vary in weight, type, texture and shade enabling you to create a range of effects---down to the finest features such as eyelids or fingertips.You will notice none of the kits contain equally shaded values of the same color, because a face is never painted or portrayed in a single color.Each kit is organized around an ethnic theme, but should not be considered a rigid definition, but a suggested guideline..Threads can be used on both fabric and canvas.
