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

DMC Retors d'Alsace Perlé Cotton n°8 mint green 3345 is an essential classic for embroidery and canvas. This shiny thread, made in France, brings a particular luminosity to each stitch, ideal for creating works that capture the light with elegance.

Composition and characteristics : This n°8 pearl cotton does not separate into strands — it is worked as is, whole and indivisible. With its 25 grams of material, the skein offers a generous length for medium-sized projects. French manufacturing guarantees consistent quality and faithful color rendering. Mint green 3345 has a fresh shade, neither too bluish nor too yellowish, perfect for floral motifs, foliage details or subtle backgrounds in cross stitch or free embroidery.

This yarn can be worked with a needle on regular canvas as well as with fine crochet for decorative applications. Its constant thickness makes it easier to pass through fabrics without snags.

• Use it in chain or stem embroidery to outline the contours of a design.
• Combine it with powder pinks or ivories for a sophisticated monochrome.
• Use Aida fabric 14 or 18 for a shiny effect without excessive weight.
• Use it as a small point canvas on finer canvas for delicate details.
• Combine it with earthy browns or blue grays to create natural gradients.

Mint Green 3345 pairs beautifully with neutral tones in your palette—ivories, beiges, pearl grays—and gains depth when you pair it with darker greens or aqua blues. Prefer needles adapted to the thickness of the thread, neither too thin nor too wide, so as not to damage the fibers when sewing.
