Vintage Silk Embroidery Thread Collection – Hortensia Flower Set – Hydrangea Bloom Shades – 40 Spools – 100% Silk – 10 m Each – Original Card Spools – Made in Italy by Cucirini Bozzolo Reale Tre Stelle
This vintage Hortensia Flower Set includes 40 silk embroidery spools in a rich botanical palette inspired by hydrangea blooms in full seasonal variation. The shades reflect the natural colour transitions found in hydrangea petals, ranging from soft lilacs and powder blues to delicate pinks, muted reds, and fresh leafy greens. The palette captures the layered beauty of hydrangea flower heads, where multiple tones coexist within a single bloom, shifting with soil, light, and age. Each colour is represented by 2 matching spools, creating a large and harmonious collection ideal for floral embroidery, botanical compositions, decorative needlework, and detailed textile art.
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 2 spools of each colour, offering a carefully coordinated palette of 20 hydrangea-inspired shades that work beautifully for shading, gradients, soft transitions, and complex floral embroidery designs. 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.
