content: 4 bunches of textured silk thread. One is light purple, one grey-brown, one red-brown, and one dark purple. Thread is twisted by placing filaments of silk floss in the palms of the hands, which are wetted and rubbed together. The threads are thus twisted together with uneven tension, creating a bumpy texture. This type of thread is used to achieve a rough visual effect in embroidery (see embroidered panel E430783-0)
