COTON PERLE 115/3 15M (L)

A metallic gray that lends understated elegance to embroidery projects. This neutral shade, neither cold nor warm, acts as a distinguishing feature on light fabrics, where it highlights the contours without overpowering. Combine it with off-white for a refined composition, or with muted shades of mauve and anthracite to reinforce the subtlety. Ideal for finishing touches, small delicate patterns or embroidering alphabets.

A thick beaded thread for a textured finish

The DMC Perlé Cotton size no. 3 is the thickest of the four sizes in the range (3, 5, 8 and 12), which gives it a marked relief particularly suitable for decorative stitches. It is composed of two inseparable strands, twisted, offering a supple thread with a satin and silky touch which slides easily through the canvas. Its 100% cotton material ensures good hold and a nice shine, its manufacturing in France guarantees consistent quality from one color to another, and its Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification ensures use without risk for health and the environment. Presented in a 15 m skein, it can be worked directly, without a reel, for quick and easy use.

• Work in short needles, 40 cm maximum, to preserve the shine and twist of the yarn
• Use it for knot points, outlines or lines that need to stand out in relief
• Combine it with fine crochet for openwork borders or decorative finishes
• Use it on canvas or Aida canvas for well-marked 3D works
• Mix it with finer sizes from the same range to vary the thicknesses on the same work

This thread pairs naturally with embroidery canvases, needles suitable for thick threads, as well as other sizes of DMC Perlé Cotton to create works rich in texture.
