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

The black of Coton Perlé n°5 offers essential depth for all embroidery work. Sober and timeless, it looks just as good on white linen for maximum contrast as on colored backgrounds where it soothes and structures. Combine it with cream white for elegant classicism, or mouse gray for a softer, contemporary harmony.

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

Black 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.
