A Cocoon Sheet is produced on a special machine for the production of mesh fabrics made of silk cocoons. The sheet consists of individual layers, which can be easily pulled apart. They show the typical diamond structure of all silk products and give handmade silk paper a compleetly new, beautiful structure. The fiber content is higher than that of Hankies, the fibers can be spun or felted with the needle (hand or machine), which makes the beautiful character of the Painter's Threads colors particularly effective! In wet felting, they can be used together with wool.

"Crewel" has supposedly developed from the medieval name for a ball. It is a thread made up of two twisted plies of worsted wool that are not strandable. As with all animal fibers, it has a very subtle sheen and colours are reflected in a variety of shades, especially in a stitch with varying directions. The crewel wool supplied by this manufacturer has a fantastic soft feeling, still being very strong and not subject to tear easily.

Heavily twisted thread made from mercerised, long staple egyptian cotton, a very high-quality cotton thread. The basic material is Finca® Pearl Cotton made by Presencia Hilaturas in Valencia®. The shine is being enhanced by the strong twist. Pearl Cotton is mostly used in sizes: 3 (thickest), 5, 8 and 12. While working with it, the thread should be re-twisted to ensure stability of structure and shine.

Seven ply stranded thread, i.e. the thread consists of 7 single strands of spun silk, that have been loosely twisted. It is easy to pull out each strand individually. The shine is rather dull. It is spun of short silk fibres and relatively "elastic" and will easily lay flat on the fabric. The single thread is slightly thicker than the more well-known stranded cotton, but much softer and more “fluffy". It creates a very smooth surface.
