FIL A DENTELLES 1PEL 5G

This gray shade with subtle reflections matches the delicacy of openwork patterns without overwhelming them. The 553 brings a refined discretion to fine lace, revealing each point in a soft light. Combine with off-whites for a timeless harmony, or powder shades to accentuate the femininity of the creations.

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 balls of Purple Amethyst to vary the shades within the same work

This Violet Amethyst color goes well with a fine steel hook type 0.75, bobbins and a lacemaker's square, 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.
