Vintage Silk Embroidery Thread Collection – Earth Set – Global Earth Tone Shades – 21 Spools – 100% Silk – 10 m Each – Original Card Spools – Made in Italy by Cucirini Bozzolo Reale Tre Stelle
This vintage Earth Set includes 21 silk embroidery spools in a richly varied palette inspired by the colours of the natural world. The shades reflect the diversity of earth tones found across different landscapes and continents, ranging from warm terracotta reds and sun-baked ochres to soft neutrals, mineral greys, rich browns, and muted natural hues. The palette evokes desert soils, clay-rich terrain, rocky landscapes, woodland floors, and weathered stone, creating a versatile collection grounded in nature’s timeless colours. Each colour is represented by a single spool, offering a broad spectrum of carefully selected shades.
All spools are preserved on their original cardboard reels with original labels and remain in good vintage, unused condition. The silk thread retains its natural sheen, smooth texture, and refined appearance, making it particularly suitable for fine embroidery and decorative sewing.
The set contains 21 different colours, offering a carefully coordinated range of earth-inspired shades that work beautifully for shading, natural gradients, landscape embroidery, botanical motifs, and detailed textile projects. The exact shades included in the lot are visible in the photographs.
Each spool contains approximately 10 meters of silk embroidery thread wound on the original cardboard reels typical of vintage Italian haberdashery supplies.
Some spools may belong to earlier production batches bearing the “Bozzolo Reale” label only, prior to the later “Cucirini Tre Stelle – Bozzolo Reale” branding. These examples add further interest for collectors of vintage Italian sewing materials.
The natural properties of silk provide exceptional stitch definition, a soft lustre, and a smooth finish highly appreciated in both decorative and fine embroidery work.
These spools come from vintage haberdashery stock and remain unused. Due to their age, some original cardboard labels or reels may show minor wear, small cracks, or breaks, which are typical characteristics of vintage thread spools. Labels may vary slightly from those shown in the photographs due to different vintage production batches. The silk thread itself remains in good and usable condition.
