COTON PERLE 1 PEL 10G (S)

Bois de rose displays a discreet warmth, between pink earths and powdery reflections. A powder pink that exudes timeless elegance, perfect for embroiderers looking for a soft, easy-going shade. It expresses itself magnificently on light fabrics, embroidered in counted stitches or with an encroaching past. Combine it with white or cream shades to emphasize its delicacy, or compose with gray greens for a subtle harmony.

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, particularly 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 work, it can be combined with Mouliné Spécial DMC thread in a shade close to the Rosewood color, or completed with embroidery beads for a textured and contrasting finish.
