Weeks Dye Works #5 Perle Cotton – 1316 Mulberry

All Weeks Dye Works perle (also known as pearl) cottons are 100% hand over-dyed cotton, perfect for needlepoint as well as a variety of other techniques, including blackwork, huck embroidery, tatting, quilt knotting and more - and can be used on different mesh canvases. Works well for the stitches on wool appliqué and penny rugs, too. #5 is the most commonly used of the four sizes available because it draws attention to the stitches on an appliqué piece, without taking away from the overall design.
