Pepper Pot silk is a 100% silk thread that is now available in 266 solid colors as well as hand dyed variegated colors. The thickness is the same as DMC Perle cotton #5, or approximately 3 to 4 strands of floss, so it fits 18 count needlepoint canvases perfectly. No plying or stranding necessary and since it doesn't come on a card it doesn't have any creases to straighten out. On the downside it's non divisible, you cannot divide the thread into smaller thickness. And it does have dye lots, if you're trying to stitch a large area, make sure to buy enough at one time for your project. We would be happy to help estimate amounts if you send us a photo of your piece with the overall dimensions included or come by in person. Pepper Pot comes off the skein ready to stitch and glide through your canvas (or fabric for cross stitchers and embroiders) beautifully. This buttery smooth and strong silk thread is always a pleasure to work with.
