COTON PERLE 1 PEL 10G (XS)

The ivory of DMC 3823 soothes with its luminous neutrality. This pearly cream shade envelops work in timeless softness, ideal for delicate embroidery, chain stitches and openwork designs. It combines elegantly with pure whites, pearl grays or ecru tones for compositions of great refinement.

Coton Perlé DMC n°12 is a thread 100% cotton , twisted and non-divisible: it is worked as is, without separating strands, unlike mouliné. Its double mercerization gives it a satin and shiny appearance which highlights each stitch, while its characteristic twist brings volume and three-dimensional relief to the embroidery. Packaged in a 10 g ball for approximately 120 meters of thread, it corresponds to the finest size in the DMC pearl cotton range, finer than No. 5 and No. 8, which allows precise stitching on fine canvas. Made in France, this thread is appreciated for its resistance and its ease of work: it glides through the fabric without fraying.

• Embroider with cross stitch on fine canvas for clean and detailed patterns
• Create openings, openwork borders and entredeux in traditional embroidery
• Compose delicate monograms on household linen or keychain
• Work with hardanger embroidery in addition to thicker sizes
• Use in fine crochet for lace and light finishes

The Ivory thread goes well with an Aida canvas or an embroidery linen, a size 24 or 26 embroidery needle adapted to its fineness, a drum or embroidery hoop to keep the fabric taut, and other sizes of DMC Perlé Cotton to play on the relief contrasts within the same work.
