415/5 COTON PERLE VARIATION 1 ECH. 25M

An icy gray-blue that captures the serenity of winter skies. This soft, calming shade lends itself to fine embroidery, delicate cross stitching and subtle embellishments. It pairs elegantly with off-white for refined compositions, or with navy blue for more depth and contrast. Perfect for creations with cold and atmospheric tones.

A pearl thread with subtle gradients

DMC Variations Perlé Cotton is a single-strand, non-divisible thread, obtained by the characteristic twist of classic perlé cotton, which gives it this satin feel and this slight pearl relief once embroidered. Its particularity lies in its gradient aspect : the color evolves gently every few stitches, offering plays of light and shadow without ever having to change thread during work. Sold in 25 m skeins and in size no. 5 , it is 100% cotton and made in France, with good wash resistance which allows the shine of the Ciel d'hiver color to be retained over time.

• Cross stitch and traditional embroidery on Aida or linen canvas
• Decorative stitches in Hardanger to highlight an openwork pattern
• Canvas and needlepoint for lively flat surfaces
• Monograms, initials and lettering that gain relief
• Smocking, appliqué and decorative finishes on textile works

This thread pairs naturally with plain DMC Perlé Cotton of the same size to create controlled contrasts, or with a suitable embroidery canvas, a tambour and ball-point needles for optimal working comfort. It also completes a skein storage box, very useful when you collect several colors from the range.
