BABYLO 147D/5 1 PELOTE 50G

To create delicate lace works or openwork patterns, the DMC Babylo 147D n°5 Rose 460 crochet thread offers exemplary finesse and regularity. This 50 g yarn in 100% combed cotton is worked with small hooks, ideal for projects that require precision and definition. Made in France, it guarantees consistent quality and faithful color from one work to another.

The shade Rose 460 displays a delicate shade, neither too saturated nor too pale, which blends harmoniously with the other colors in the Babylo range. No. 5 corresponds to a fine calibration, particularly suitable for lace, openwork appliqués and trims. Its 100% cotton composition gives it natural flexibility and a beautiful drape, even on very tight stitches. The thread easily separates into strands for the finest details.

Available in this Rose 460 variation, the DMC Babylo 147D goes well with neutral shades such as white, ecru or light grays for a romantic look, or with other pinks and corals for a more chrome effect.

• Work with a No. 0.75 to No. 1.5 hook for regular, well-defined stitches.
• Wrap the thread around your fingers without excessive tension: soft cotton does not support sudden stretching.
• Make your first chains on a piece of graph paper to count without mistakes, particularly useful in lace where every stitch counts.
• Block your finished pieces with gentle steam to fix the geometry of the stitches and enhance the openwork patterns.
• Combine this fine thread with staples or seed beads for layered embroidery on fine fabric.

The DMC Babylo 147D Rose 460 goes particularly well with fine crochet such as DMC Mouliné embroidery thread or with small mother-of-pearl buttons to border a finished work. Lacemakers also like to harmonize it with off-white thread for a subtle gradient effect.
