COTON PERLE RETORS D'ALSACE 25G N°8 1 ECH

DMC Retors d'Alsace Perlé Cotton n°8 Weeping Willow 4060 brings natural softness to your embroidery and canvas stitches. This pale green and slightly gray shade evokes the fragility of willows, perfect for creating delicate backgrounds or subtle gradients on Aida canvas or cheesecloth.

100% pearl cotton embroidery thread , made in France according to the Alsatian tradition. Retors d'Alsace is characterized by its shiny and regular appearance, ideal for canvas works and cross stitches on fine embroideries. The 25g skein offers a generous length for covering large areas or making several medium-sized designs. The Weeping Willow color 4060 remains essential for spring palettes or botanical work.

The thread does not divide: use it in its entirety to obtain the pearl in all its splendor, or work with needles adapted to its size (needle no. 22 or no. 24 depending on your stitch). On coarse canvas, he creates luminous reliefs; on fine Aida, he composes precise and brilliant lines.

• Combine Weeping Willow 4060 with darker greens (Ocean Green, Fir Green) to create three-dimensional nature on landscape canvas.
• On a coarse point canvas, this thread quickly fills in a leaf or floral detail without unnecessary superposition of passages.
• Work with botanical patterns by alternating this pale green with powder pinks or creams for a subtle watercolor finish.
• Retors d'Alsace accepts washing in lukewarm soapy water: test on an angle before soaking the entire item.
• Wind the unused lengths around a spool to avoid knots and maintain the elasticity of the thread.

Complete your creations with threads from the same range in different shades: Olive Green 3346 or Spring Green 3348 will allow harmonious gradients, while a touch of Pearl Gray 3072 will amplify the delicacy of this Weeping Willow 4060. Retors d'Alsace thread naturally combines with quality fabrics, such as Alsace canvas or white cheesecloth to enhance each stitch.
