Perle 16

Presencia Finca Perle 16 is a 100% Egyptian cotton, mercerised thread with a twist that gives it a pearlised sheen, sold in 5 gram units. It's soft, silky and colourfast, making it suited to hand embroidery and needlework where a visible, lustrous stitch is wanted.

The range here is in shaded colourways, meaning each thread graduates through tones within a colour family, such as shaded dark pink, shaded blue green or shaded light brown. Picking between them is largely about which colour family and depth of shading suits your project.
