I have been buying Vikkie's silks for a lot of years, I started getting them using the club method. I live in the U.K. so as you can see Vikkie's silks do travel the world. Have you seen the Perfect Reds lol. Mavis Hello, glad you found Vikkie’s site. I have been buying Vikkie’s silks for a lot of years, I started getting them using the club method.

Love the fibers, Vikki is the sweetest and the girls in the forum are just great!! The constant "invention" of colors is amazing!! So glad to hear how much you have enjoyed their discovery!!

Very easy to do, all the instructions are in the Forums. The only caveat is that in order to dye a custom batch, there has to be a minimum amount ordered - not an extreme amount, and there are many 'silk collectors' on the forums - I have yet to see a color variation that has *not* gotten dyed to order. So if you have a design that you really want to do in a color combination you can't find anywhere else, you can always make it at Vikki's HDF!

They are absolutely some of the finest silks you will ever stitch with. Also, the price of these silks are at least half of what other silks cost. Finally, Vikki is the nicest lady to purchase from. She will answer any question and help you with choosing colors or any other form of question you might have. It is my favorite site for silks!!!
