PERLE METALLISE 1 ECH 25M

Are you looking for an embroidery thread that sparkles without overwhelming your work? This skein of DMC Metallic Pearl Cotton in Blue 5317 brings a touch of discreet shine to traditional embroidery and cross stitching. The grayish blue color delicately captures the light, ideal for details that deserve to shine: initials, floral accents or fine edging on linen canvas.

Composition and characteristics : 100% cotton, this 25 m skein offers perfect density for pointillist embroidery or small flat areas. The metallic finish enhances the natural shine of cotton without creating a harsh sheen. Made in France, it guarantees regular twisting and fine work recognized by the most demanding embroiderers.

• Combine Blue 5317 with pearl grays or whites to accentuate shadow contrast without overwhelming the composition.
• Work with needles of 40 cm maximum: metallic cotton benefits from being handled gently to preserve its shine.
• Try it backstitched for clean contours that catch the light, particularly effective on white canvas or natural linen.
• Create refined geometric patterns: squares, lines or chevrons where the metallic transforms the lines into small luminous architectures.
• Combine it with strands of classic Mouliné Spécial DMC to vary the textures without losing chromatic harmony.

This skein is ideally completed with fine Bohin embroidery needles (n°26 or 28) and a regular counting Zweigart canvas. Bleu 5317 also works with ecru or gray-blue for Nordic or mineral atmospheres.
