House of Embroidery No 12 Perle Thread – Red 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. Berries P20A 8. Sri Lanka P51B 2.  Berries P20C 9.  India P52C 3. Xmas Red P40A 10. Papaver P75B 4. Xmas Red P40B 11. Salvia P78B 5. Xmas Red P40C 12. Salvia P78C 6.

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