PERLE METALLISE 1 ECH 25M

The DMC Silver 5283 Metallic Pearl Cotton thread brings a subtle shine to your embroidery works. This 25 m skein in 100% cotton offers a shimmering finish without overloading the composition, ideal for highlighting details or creating effects of light on embroidery canvas.

Made in France, this thread combines the suppleness of pearl cotton with the shine of metallic threads. Unlike pure metallic threads, pearl cotton remains pleasant to work with: it does not fray and slides regularly under the needle. The 25 m yardage allows you to cover medium-sized patterns without requiring several skeins for the same work.

• Use the thread as is for shiny outlines and luminous details on a classic embroidery background.
• Combine with opaque threads — pastel or neutral tones — so that the metallic effect stands out without dominating.
• Perfect for embroidering stars, touches of light or stitched letters on embroidery canvas or linen.
• Work with short needles, 40 to 50 cm, to protect the thread from linting.
• Also suitable for fine crochet: ideal for adding a touch of shine to openwork lace.

Silver 5283 goes particularly well with blues, grays and neutral shades. Consider combining it with a classic Mouliné DMC to create mixed embroidery effects where the metallic punctuates without invading.
