n. A soft silk embroidery thread

n. A kind of silk thread less glossy than floss, and spun from coarser material. It is much used in embroidery instead of floss.

n. Ferret or floss-silk; grogram yarn of thread.

"Floss silk is generally used for other stitches because it covers the thread of the canvas better than purse silk; it is, however, often replaced by filoselle, which is a much cheaper material."
