FIL A DENTELLES 1PEL 5G

A delicate gray that exudes elegant sobriety. This neutral shade lets the openwork patterns and fine details of the lace shine without distracting the eye. The 414 is suitable for timeless works, delicate pieces and historical restorations. Combine it with whites to amplify the lightness, or with pastel shades for a soft harmony.

This DMC lace thread is 100% long fiber cotton , combed then gassed to eliminate fibrils and obtain a perfectly smooth surface to the touch. It is then double mercerized , a process which gives it a silky shine and reinforces its resistance to wear during work. Its 6-strand structure gives it good tension hold, a valuable asset for fine and regular works. Sold in 5 g balls, or approximately 90 meters, it is colorfast and washable at 95°C , which guarantees the color holds even after several machine washes.

• Work bobbin lace with a thread that slides without fraying
• Create fine and regular tatting works
• Crochet borders for handkerchiefs, placemats and coasters with a No. 0.75 hook
• Embroider hardanger or delicate counted stitches on fine canvas
• Combine several Lead balls to vary the shades within the same work

This Lead color goes well with a fine steel hook type 0.75, bobbins and a lacemaker's tile, a fine embroidery needle or a tambour for hardanger embroidery. It also completes a collection of Coton Perlé or Mouliné DMC to combine techniques and materials on the same project.
