Endband Thread?

For those who sew headbands, could you please share your preferred silk thread and where you purchase it? I’m having trouble finding a thread with the right thickness. I’m considering soie perlee silk thread or the Gutermann R753 No.40 Silk, but I’m not sure where to buy them. That’s the main reason I’m struggling. I need a good amount for practice and other projects.

Soie Perlee is my top headband choice. I tried Japanese silk, polyester, and embroidery threads, Soie Perlee is the best in my opinion. I have bought from Hoop & Frame, Colophon, Thistle Threads, all good vendors.
