Item Name: Moretti Effetre Rod - Pastel Lavender - 4mm - 7mm SKU: 1556221 Description: Moretti Lavender Pastel is a soft glass rod color used for lampworking and beadmaking. It is manufactured as solid, round rod in the Effetre color line and is commonly used when you want an opaque, pastel lavender that reads cleanly in beads, small sculptural work, and decorative linework. This color is typically worked as a base glass, layered under or over other colors for contrast, and pulled down into stringer for fine detail. How it is used: Heat the end of the rod in a neutral flame until a small gather forms, then apply it directly to a mandrel-based bead or to a soft glass component as a base layer. Use it for opaque pastel coverage in beads, spacers, and small sculptural elements where you want a smooth, even lavender tone. Pull the rod into stringer for scrollwork, dots, and fine line decoration, then lightly reheat to round and smooth the surface. Layer with other compatible soft glass colors to build depth, banding, and simple encased effects in beadmaking and small lampworked forms. Dimensions: Rod diameter: 4mm – 7mm
