COTON PERLE 1 ECH 25M (M)

Parma gives an aristocratic softness to every stitch. This powdery purple shade, delicate and refined, soothes the creations where it is included. It is suitable for embroiderers who want a soft shade, far from overly saturated purple. Pair it with ivory white for classic elegance, or light gray for contemporary harmony. Floral embroidery, monograms, chain stitches on linen — it reveals its grace in small formats.

The Coton Perlé DMC n°5 is a twisted 100% cotton thread, composed of two inseparable strands which give it its characteristic “pearled” appearance. Its satin and silky feel brings volume and clear relief to each point, while its colorfast quality guarantees stable color over time and washes. Presented in 25 m skeins and made in France, it is available in more than 300 colors, including Parma 210, which allows you to create precise color charts and gradients from one work to another.

• Work it in short needles, without exceeding 40 cm, to preserve its shine and prevent it from fraying.
• Use it as is, without dividing it into strands, for a regular finish and homogeneous shine.
• Use it for decorative stitches and Hardanger blocks, where the relief of the thread must remain clearly visible.
• Try it in cross-stitch on large-count canvas for a textured and luminous finish.
• Combine several Parma and neighboring colors from the same range to create gradients within the same work.

This thread is naturally combined with an Aida canvas or a Penelope canvas, a ball point needle adapted to its thickness, as well as an embroidery drum to maintain regular tension while working on relief stitches and Hardanger finishes.
