"For
many years I have worked
with Pipers Silks. They have
many different qualities
that can be used for many
different laces. I
especially like the 4/20 for
Chantilly and prefer the
spun silks for the gimp. The
Floss is my favourite for
Flanders and all the other
Flemish laces like Mechlin
and Parise because it fills
the clothwork so nicely.
The huge range of colours
also helps to bring
Polychrome Blonde alive.
Also, for Rib and Roll, my
project for 2010, I use 6/20
Fine Twisted Silk and 90/2
Twisted Gloss Silk because
these threads are incredibly
reliable in durability, they
rarely break, whatever we do
to them while making our
sewings." |

"I have been using Piper's
silks for over 25 years - in
fact it is safe to say that
without them, I would not
have the career which I do
today!
Their shades, textures
and ease of use continue to
be an inspiration and joy.
Embroideries which I worked
almost three decades ago are
as vibrant and colourful
now as they were when first
stitched!" |

"Since 1995 I have used
Piper's Silks 80/3 spun
silks and 90/3 gloss silks
and been particularly
satisfied with the quality,
strength and extensive
colour range of the threads.
The service and advice I
have received has always
been exemplary,
both friendly and helpful to
me and my students,
with knowledge that
is second to none. In a
word, I would sum up Piper's
Silks as being excellent." |

Split-cane fishing rods
provide another use for our
Twisted Gloss Silks. We
have many rod builders who
use our silks for whipping
split-cane rods in
traditional shades. The
floss silks are also used to
make flies for fly-fishing.
See the 90/2 Twisted Gloss Silk,
90/3 Twisted Gloss Silk, 4/20
Twisted Silk and Floss Silk.
Our silks are beautiful to
work with and they are not
expensive or frail! Our
prices compete well with
cottons and linens and our
Honiton threads are much
sought after for their
fineness and strength. |
