COTON PERLE 1 PEL 10G (M)

An intense scarlet red, with reflections of passion and vitality. This shade asserts its presence on the lightest canvases as well as on darker fabrics, without ever shifting towards orange. It particularly shines in floral embroidery, bold geometric patterns and traditional stitches that call for a light, vibrant color. Pair with off-whites, pale golds, or to contrast with deep greens.

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.
