There are colours that whisper, and others that hold a quiet glow.

With Sienna and Spice, we have gathered a palette drawn from earth and flame — tones reminiscent of sun-warmed clay, crushed cinnamon, terracotta, and the ember resting at the centre of a hearth. These are colours that feel enduring and familiar, steady yet luminous.

Warm reds and ochres have long been part of historic needlework. Derived from natural dyes and mineral sources, they travelled across trade routes and found their way into domestic stitching, bringing warmth and depth to carefully structured designs.

Historic samplers often relied on such tones to provide balance and warmth. Earth reds softened geometry, ochres warmed deeper grounds, and deeper russets added quiet emphasis without overwhelming the design. Practical, enduring, and deeply expressive, these were colours trusted by generations of stitchers.

The Sienna and Spice silk pack brings together ten carefully chosen shades of Au Ver à Soie Soie 100.3, presented on generous 150m spools. Whether used in a planned project or added thoughtfully to your collection, these are shades that will quietly prove their worth over time.

We hope these hues bring warmth, depth, and a quiet radiance to your stitching.
