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

Ficelle embodies the natural shade of raw linen, this neutral beige-gray which fades to better allow a creation to breathe. On a light canvas, she draws discreet lines; on dark fabric, it brings a subtle softness. This color is suitable for pointillist works, fine details and projects where delicacy takes precedence over statement. Pair with deep grays, off-whites or earthy tones.

Coton Perlé DMC Retors d'Alsace n°12 is a 100% cotton thread composed of two twisted strands, obtained from long-fiber Egyptian cotton and double mercerization which gives it a durable satin shine and appreciable resistance over time. Its large skein of 25 g (approximately 300 m) allows you to embroider long surfaces without interruption or thread splicing, a valuable asset for Hardanger embroidery and large projects. Made in France and Oeko-Tex certified, it slides easily through the fabric without knotting or twisting, and can be washed at up to 95° for easy daily care.

Instructions for use

• Cut needles of 40 cm maximum to preserve the fiber of the thread
• Use this thread for Hardanger embroidery, openwork or white embroidery
• Work it in stem stitch or cross stitch for a marked relief effect
• Mix sizes 5, 8 and 12 on the same work to create contrast
• Reserve Ficelle for monograms and finishes that require precision and shine

This thread pairs naturally with Aida canvas or embroidery linen, a rounded-point embroidery needle and a tambour to keep the fabric taut while working.
