House of Embroidery No 12 Perle Thread – Brown Tones

Description These stunning twisted cotton perle threads are created by House of Embroidery in South Africa. They have a wonderful lustre and are hand-dyed in a sumptuous range of colours. The dye colours change fairly rapidly but not overly dramatically along the length of the thread, thereby producing wonderfully soft, natural shading as you stitch. I love this weight of thread for surface embroidery (all stitches) and it is wonderful for needlelace. For example, it is  used to produce the needlelace across the back of the Wren Étui. The thread is sold in 20m twists. Please note that the True Colour of the thread may differ slightly from displayed images due to differences in calibration and computer models. Colours on offer are: 1. Oak P10C 8. Winter P41A 15. Bark P72A 2. Olives P29B 9. Winter P41B 16. Bark P72B 3. Olives P29C 10. Thatch P59A 17. Ash P74A 4. Baskets P31B 11. Thatch P59B 18. Ash P74B 5.

Panorama P91B As a fair-trade company, House of Embroidery prides itself on the sustained empowerment of previously unskilled South Africans. Most of the team are women, many of whom had no prior employment. The majority are currently the main breadwinners in their respective families.
