If you are thinking of spending many hours reproducing a piece of history, you may consider using silk threads from Pearsall's - a company established in 1795. Mary Busby was born on 4th August 1790 and attended Ackworth School between 1800 and 1804. Our high quality filament silk threads have a wonderful sheen and are ideal for the reproduction of a work of art from the Ackworth Quaker School (established 1779).
