Item Name: Moretti Effetre Special Rod - Pistachio - 4mm - 7mm SKU: 1556415 Description: This is a solid colored soft-glass rod made for lampworking. It is produced as a consistent cane so it heats evenly, gathers smoothly, and can be applied with control for beadmaking and small sculptural work. Pistachio is a light, yellow-leaning green that is especially useful when you want a soft spring green, a gentle botanical tone, or a pastel green that layers cleanly with other opaque colors without overpowering them. How it is used: Preheat the rod slowly in the far flame, then bring it up to a stable working temperature before applying it to your piece. Wind it onto a mandrel for base beads, then shape with marvers and gentle tool pressure for clean, even profiles. Pull it into stringer for vine lines, leaf outlines, and fine decorative striping over darker greens, browns, or complementary florals. Use small gathers to apply dots and trails for layered spot patterns, then melt in smooth for a clean surface or leave slightly raised for texture. Dimensions: Rod diameter: 4mm – 7mm
