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

Rose dawn captures the fleeting moment when daylight begins on the horizon. This delicate shade, between powder pink and light peach, soothes without sluggishness and lifts without screaming. It rejuvenates white linen and ecru canvas, perfect for delicate embroidery, initials, discreet bouquets. Pair it with warmer pink or creamy white to enhance its luminous softness.

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 Aurora Rose 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.
