COTON PERLE 1 PEL 10G (S)

A delicate blue with reflections of wild chicory, which captures this intermediate shade between light sky and wildflower. Bleuet 793 expresses itself fully on delicate embroidery, cross stitch and precision work where its soft depth creates subtlety. Pair with cream neutrals, raw whites, or powder pinks to evoke timeless country bouquets.

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 Cornflower color, or completed with embroidery beads for a textured and contrasting finish.
