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

DMC Retors d'Alsace Perlé Cotton n°8, light Mahogany color 3776, is an exceptional embroidery thread made in France. This 25 g skein offers a natural and regular shine, characteristic of traditional pearl cotton worked according to Alsatian methods. Ideal for cross-stitch embroidery, stem stitch or bare gold, this thread is distinguished by its particular twist which reinforces its strength and shine.

Composition and technical characteristics: 100% cotton with a pearl treatment which creates a smooth and shiny surface. The Light Mahogany color 3776 offers a warm and deep shade, oscillating between reddish brown and mahogany, perfect for classic or vintage inspired works. The thread does not separate into strands - it is worked whole - which simplifies production and guarantees uniform shine over the entire surface of your work. Made in France using historic know-how, this yarn embodies Alsatian textile excellence.

This skein is suitable for small patterns on linen or aida canvas as well as for flat areas on canvas. Its generous thickness makes it an ideal ally for medium-sized projects where definition must remain clear.

• Embroider cross stitch on 5.5 aida or 12-count linen using the entire skein for even coverage.
• Combine Light Mahogany 3776 with creamy whites or warm grays to create subtle and elegant gradients.
• Test the thread on a sample of your canvas before starting, to verify that the shade is suitable for your project.
• Store the skein away from direct light to preserve the stability of the color over time.
• Use this thread for delicate ornaments or white embroidery finishes, where its shine adds a touch of refinement.

Retors d'Alsace naturally combines with other shades from the same DMC range to create rich chromatic harmonies. On neutral or lightly tinted canvases, it displays all its warmth. Pair it with ecru linen or pearl gray linen for timeless embroidery that will last through the years without going out of style.
