BABYLO 147D/5 1 PELOTE 50G

Creating openwork lace or delicate crochet patterns requires a thread that combines finesse and regularity. The Babylo 147D n°5 Bleu 114 offers this precision: a 100% pure cotton thread, made in France, which glides smoothly under your hook and reveals each gap point with clarity. The bright blue shade sits on ecru cotton lace to create contrast or combines with other shades in the range for subtle gradients.

Technical specifications: 100% cotton yarn, 50 g ball, French manufacturing. The fine diameter of Babylo 147D n°5 is particularly suitable for 1 to 1.5 mm hooks and very fine needles for lace work, doilies, openwork borders and exceptional pieces. This conditioning is worked on the gap points, added patterns or meticulous applications which enhance the regularity of the thread.

• Separate the strands for more airy stitches on raised lace or contour applications.
• Combine Blue 114 with shades of gray or off-white to create pieces with marine gradients.
• Test this thread on a fine embroidery canvas to check how it holds up when passing the needle before starting a large project.
• Work in short needles, 30 to 35 cm, to preserve the shine of the cotton and avoid fraying.
• Washing in lukewarm water fixes the colors: gently pinch the finished piece, do not twist it.

This lace thread blends naturally with fine cotton canvas, silk tulle and openwork canvas. Complete your palette by combining other shades from the Babylo 147D range or by playing with the material with gold or silver threads for embroidered finishes.
