House of Embroidery No 12 Perle Thread – Orange 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. Blossom P12A 10. Antiquity P44C 19. Papaver P75A 2. Blossom P12B 11. Sri Lanka P51A 20. Papaver P75C 3. Mango P24C 12. Sri Lanka P51C 21. Nasturtium P76A 4.

Most of the team are women, many of whom had no prior employment. The majority are currently the main breadwinners in their respective families.
