COTON PERLE 1 ECH 25M (M)

Tarragon green exudes the discreet liveliness of a freshly picked aromatic herb. This grassy shade, neither too dark nor too pale, brings a warm vitality to embroiderers looking for a bold but timeless color. It enhances botanical patterns, chain stitches on natural linen or flatwork details of a textile work. Combine it with off-white for a calming composition, or with a discreet gold for more elegance.

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 a 25 m skein and made in France, it is available in more than 300 colors, including Tarragon Green 471, 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 Tarragon Green 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.
