Item Name: Moretti Effetre Rod - Dark Dark Lilac - 5mm - 6mm SKU: 1556278 Description: This is a solid Effetre Moretti soft-glass color rod in the Lilac Dark Dark color. It is manufactured as straight rod stock intended for melting in a lampworking flame for beadmaking, small soft-glass sculpture, and decorative applications. Dark lilac tones are commonly used when you want a purple that reads richer and moodier than standard lavender, making it a strong choice for florals, night-sky palettes, and bold contrast work alongside whites, ivories, and transparent purples. How it is used: Warm the rod slowly in the farthest part of the flame to reduce thermal shock, then bring it up to a working heat. Wind it onto a mandrel for bead bases or use it to add wraps and layers over other compatible soft-glass colors. Apply it as dots, stringer lines, or small sculptural additions to build depth and contrast in your design. Use it with other compatible soft-glass colors in the same COE family for consistent working characteristics and durability. Dimensions: Rod diameter: 5mm – 6mm
