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

This shaded shade reveals all the warmth of the sun in gradients: from bright lemon yellow to deep gold. She embraces half-point embroideries on linen or cotton, where these natural variations create relief without excess. Combine it with ecru for a country harmony, or let the gradient speak by opting for a neutral background that highlights it.

Retors d'Alsace is a 100% cotton thread composed of two twisted strands, renowned for its satin shine and resistance. Made from long-staple Egyptian cotton and double mercerized, it does not twist or form knots during work, making needlework much easier. Presented in a large 25 g skein, this generous packaging is particularly suitable for work that requires a lot of material, such as Hardanger embroidery.

How to use

• Embroider in Hardanger, Reticello or Antique stitch for a traditional and textured look
• Create monograms and openwork embroidery thanks to the finesse and shine of the thread
• Cut needles of approximately 40 cm to preserve the fiber and prevent it from fraying
• Work with stem stitch or cross stitch for a marked relief effect
• Combine several sizes of Shaded Sun Yellow on the same work to play on the volumes

This thread blends naturally with linen, Aida or Zweigart fabrics used in traditional embroidery, as well as with fine-point needles and embroidery hoops to keep the fabric taut during work.
