Attic Needlework’s Silk Conversion Gallery

At Attic Needlework, we love silk. Over the years, we have created hundreds of conversions from DMC and overdyed cotton floss to overdyed silks, standard solid silks, and silks for high count linen (Tudor and Soie Surfine). The beauty, luster, and stitching pleasure of projects kitted with silk is, in our opinion, worth the additional expense, especially when you will be spending many hours creating an heirloom. Our gallery below features some of our favorites, but do contact us to see if your next project has already been converted to silk. If you would like us to create a custom conversion for you, please note that there will be a fee, and a wait, as conversions are done individually with care and can take many hours to perfect.

N.B. Samplers with clickable titles will take you to the newsletter where this sampler has previously been featured. Please click for more information on the sampler. Note that pricing in older newsletters may no longer be accurate. The image shown may be the model image, and not the stitched conversion.).
