Eleganza 8wt Perle Cotton Thread - Lilac (5g Ball) | WonderFil The Eleganza 8wt Perle Cotton Thread in Lilac by WonderFil Specialty Threads is a luxurious hand-stitching thread made from 100% long staple Egyptian cotton. This premium 2-ply thread is double-gassed and mercerised, creating an exceptionally smooth surface with a soft lustre that glides beautifully through fabric and fibres. The double-gassing process removes lint from the thread twice, producing a cleaner and softer finish that allows for effortless stitching. Eleganza's tight twist forms bold, well-defined stitches that hold their shape beautifully, making it ideal for decorative handwork and embellishment stitching. Each 5-gram ball contains approximately 42 yards of richly coloured thread. The soft Lilac shade brings gentle colour and subtle elegance to embroidery, wool appliqué, sashiko stitching, and other decorative hand-stitched projects. Eleganza threads are loved by hand stitchers for their strength, smooth finish, and vibrant colour range, making them a wonderful choice for both traditional and contemporary stitching techniques.
