COTON PERLE RETORS D'ALSACE 25G N°5 1 ECH

Agathe reveals a nuanced white, tender and airy, which soothes the eye without dazzling. This soft shade is suitable for delicate embroidery on linen or muslin, refined cross stitching or finishing lace projects. It blends harmoniously with ecru tones, warm beige or very pale gray for creations with clean lines.

A beaded thread designed for large projects

DMC Retors d'Alsace Perlé Coton comes in a large 25 g skein , a more generous packaging than classic Perlé Coton, designed for thread-intensive work like Hardanger. Its 100% cotton composition and its tight twist give it a shiny appearance which highlights each stitch, while remaining slightly thinner and supple than traditional Pearl Cotton to slide easily through the canvas. This thread is made in France , a guarantee of textile know-how recognized by embroiderers for generations.

Ideas for using

• Hardanger embroidery and openwork stitches requiring strong thread
• Old point and Punto Antico for traditional works
• Reticello and Swiss embroidery for marked relief effects
• Decorative borders and volume finishes on household linen
• Large continuous projects thanks to the generous footage of the skein

The Agathe goes naturally with a linen or cotton canvas suitable for counted stitches, as well as with rounded-point embroidery needles for the Hardanger. It complements both a range of classic DMC Perlé Cotton to vary the thicknesses on the same work, as well as an assortment of Mouliné threads for finer details.
