COTON PERLE 1 PEL 10G (M)

A warm gray that takes its nuances from scorched earth, Umber Gray embodies restraint and sophistication. This soft shade avoids the austerity of urban gray and turns to mineral, almost natural tones. It accompanies refined embroideries, monograms on old linen, cross-stitch works on neutral canvases. Pair it with off-white for more softness, or with light beige to reinforce the earthy harmony.

The Coton Perlé DMC n°5 is a twisted thread 100% cotton and non-divisible , recognizable by its silky feel and its satiny appearance obtained thanks to double mercerization. Packaged in a ball of 10 g , or approximately 45 meters of thread, it brings volume and relief to each stitch placed, a real asset for giving character and texture to works. Its tight twist makes it durable, easy to work with and pleasant to pull, even over long embroidery or crochet sessions.
