COTON PERLE 1 PEL 10G (S)

This purple ombré plays on delicate shades from lilac to mauve. A subtle degradation that soothes the eyes and invites softness. This shade is suitable for floral patterns, airy letters and refined creations. It combines harmoniously with off-white for reliefs, or with tones of powder pink to reinforce the romantic atmosphere.

This pearl cotton is a 100% mercerized cotton thread, twisted and non-divisible : unlike mouliné, it is worked as is, without separating strands, which gives each stitch a clean and regular relief. Its No. 8 size is between No. 5, thicker, and No. 12, finer, an intermediate gauge which is suitable for both delicate patterns and more pronounced finishes. The 10 g ball rolls out continuously, without any connections to manage during work, which makes large areas as well as small repeats easier. Its satin finish catches the light and highlights the texture of the embroidery, while its manufacturing in France guarantees consistency of quality from one ball to another.

• A natural choice for hardanger and drawn-thread work, where the relief of the thread structures the pattern
• Perfect for monograms and traditional embroidery done in a single strand
• Suitable for cross stitching on fine canvas, notably 80 or 100 threads/10 cm unifils
• Also suitable for fine crochet, smocking and decorative lace-type finishes
• Cut lengths of approximately 45 to 50 cm to limit tangling during work

This 10 g pearl cotton goes well with linen or cotton embroidery canvases, as well as with ball point needles adapted to its caliber. To enrich the same piece of work, it can be combined with Mouliné Spécial DMC thread in a shade close to the Parfums de violet ombré color, or completed with embroidery beads for a textured and contrasting finish.
