COTON PERLE RETORS D'ALSACE 25G N°12 1 ECH

Coton Perlé DMC Retors d'Alsace n°12 Orange 4124 is an exceptional skein of embroidery thread, made in France according to a recognized Alsatian textile tradition. This thick, structured thread is intended for embroidery on canvas, cross stitch on Aida canvas as well as on linen, and light crochet work. Its generous diameter allows you to quickly cover surfaces and create spectacular raised points.

Made from 100% combed cotton , this thread has a slightly shiny surface characteristic of Coton Perlé , which intensifies the colors and offers a professional finish. Orange 4124 is a warm, apricot-leaning shade, ideal for Mediterranean ambiances, floral designs and autumnal projects. The quality of the fiber and the thickness of No. 12 make it particularly suitable for works intended to last, without color weariness. Unlike Mouliné Spécial, this thread does not separate into strands: it is used in its entirety for a thick and even finish.

This 25 g skein is suitable for both small, delicate patterns and solid backgrounds on medium-sized projects. Seamstresses and embroiderers who appreciate traceability and French manufacturing will find here a trusted partner, stamped with Alsatian DMC know-how.

• Use it for the edges of crochet projects on 3 to 3.5 mm needles, in close rows for more structure.
• Try satin stitch or chain stitch on 18 or 16 stitches per inch canvas: the color really shines on a light background.
• Combined with pearl grays or off-whites, Orange 4124 creates warm gradients without ever being visually overwhelming.
• Choose embroidery needles No. 18 to 22 so as not to force the thread too much and maintain its flexibility.
• On raw linen, this pearl cotton gives a timeless rustic elegance to monograms or geometric patterns.

Combine this thread with a good quality linen or aida canvas, a few specialized embroidery needles and why not a magnificent marked embroiderer: the investment in French Perlé Cotton naturally comes with durable tools.
