Silk Wrapped Purl is created by wrapping fine silk thread around a wire core and forming it into a delicate coil. While the technique itself is traditional, this expanded, contemporary color palette brings fresh creative possibilities, perfect for adding dimension and raised effects to your needlepoint project.

Each box contains 1 meter of Silk Wrapped Purl, neatly packaged with matching couching thread. Made in France.

Recommendations for use: Silk Wrapped Purl can be sewn on as is, pulled apart and left kinky, cut into precise short pieces and sewn on fabric or canvas like a large beads, or flattened to create an entirely different look. When cutting we do recommended not using your good embroidery scissors, as cutting wired threads of any kind will dull the blades.
**We suggest using beeswax on the Soie 100/3 with a Crewel #10 needle for couching or attaching the wire to your work.
