Silk Road Fibers has a new thread--Soie Tissée (pronounced swah t-say)--is an intricately woven thread of seven lustrous strands of 100% silk according to Stitch-Stash. You can see photos of many of the colors (shared with Straw Silk) on the Stitch-Stash website.
Judging from the photos, it looks like a flat braid. I haven't gotten my hands on any yet. There's more information on the Silk Road Fibers website.
By the way, Silk Road Fibers' website says Straw Silk will return in early 2026.
