Vintage Silk Embroidery Thread Collection – Amalfi Gradient Set – Citrus-Inspired Shades – 14 Spools – 100% Silk – 10 m Each – Original Card Spools – Made in Italy by Cucirini Bozzolo Reale Tre Stelle
This vintage Amalfi Gradient Set includes 14 silk embroidery spools in a vibrant palette inspired by the colours of the Italian Amalfi Coast. The shades transition beautifully from rich orange and golden yellow through fresh citrus tones to lively lime and green hues, evoking sun-ripened oranges, lemons, fragrant citrus groves, and the freshness of Mediterranean summers. Each colour is represented by 2 matching spools, creating a harmonious gradient ideal for floral embroidery, botanical motifs, decorative needlework, and projects requiring smooth colour transitions.
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 seven citrus-inspired shades that work beautifully for shading, gradients, highlights, and colourful 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 delicate embroidery and restoration 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.
