Thank you so much for the new downloadable colour charts. They seem to be more accurate than the printed, older shade card. It has obviously been a huge undertaking - but it was worth it! JM , Copehagen, Denmark

Hello The Silk Mill colleagues,
Just wanted to say that I've ordered from you twice now and have been really pleased with the quality of the silks, the clear communication, the speed of delivery and the presentation of the silks. Thank you very much - fantastic service! FP, Shipley, West Yorkshire

  • Only a quick e-mail to let you know the beautiful etui arrived on Wednesday and the 2 boxes both arrived half an hour ago. They are so beautiful it's just unbelievable. What treasures!!   Miss I. Dunn
  •  "I love the silks and thank you so much for the thread conditioner. I shall definitely be ordering more silks in the future." Mrs CW, Norfolk
  •  "I think your designs are very beautiful and modern and show a lot of creativity. Is it more difficult to sew with silk rather than with traditional threads?"Mrs EV, Lusignan Petit, France 
    Our answer: no, it is not more difficult, it is just different. The most important thing is to keep your hands smooth and well moisturised, making it easier to handle the silks. Keep your handcream at the ready! Also it is helpful to use a product like 'Thread Heaven' (equivalent to the old-fashioned wax) to keep your silk flowing smoothly.

It was so nice, like a little present, and the threads are really beautiful." Mrs SW, Germany
