Purse Twists

Purse Twists
PURSE TWISTS
A term used in the early 19th century for the very beautiful silk yarns used for embroidery work, net work and decorating cloth and velvet. They were of such brilliant dyeing that " it was difficult to distinguish from gold." The royal arms, over the throne at St. James's Palace, are entirely embroidered in this silk.
