COTON PERLE 1 ECH 25M (M)

A deep red with terracotta reflections, warm and slightly retro. This shade evokes old bricks and natural pigments, ideal for classic embroidery, monograms and pointillist patterns. It pairs beautifully with ivory or ecru for a soft contrast, and with ochres for a more earthy and harmonious look.

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 Rouge de Mars 221, which allows you to compose 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 Rouge de Mars and neighboring colors from the same range to create gradients within the same work.

This thread goes naturally 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.
