House of Embroidery No 12 Perle Thread – Yellow 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.
