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

This natural shade soothes and seduces with its benevolent neutrality. Ecru is suitable for embroiderers looking for discretion: it interacts with pastel tones, blends into off-whites and creates sober contrasts with deep shades. On linen or canvas, it brings a delicate warmth to traditional works as well as refined creations.

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

Ecru goes naturally with a linen or cotton canvas suitable for counted stitches, as well as with rounded-point embroidery needles for 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.
