Hi Margaret, I am sorry I did not get back to you sooner but everything was in chaos when I go back from London. We lost one cat to cancer and almost lost another to hyperthyroidism. All is much improved now. Anyway, I looked in several stores and was unable to find anyplace in London or Colchester that sold Pearsall's. We even went online and the only place that had any was in Wales. It would need to be mail ordered. I even went to a place here in Va. Beach that as supposed to carry it and they did not. The only other place I could find was also online but nobody carries the spools. I suspect that you got some vintage silk that is no longer made. Sorry I was no successful.

I inherited some several years ago but its about gone now and I would love to get some more. It is made in England.
