Pearl Cotton

Dear users, dear designers,
what do you make with pearl cotton?

When I think of pearl cotton, I think of embroidery, since this thread is mainly used for that.

I don't have any keywords for the letter Q yet.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
Apart from tassels ;)

Pearl cotton can also be used for delicate crochet work: lace, jewelry pieces, flowers, etc. We also had a thread about this years ago: https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/forum/topic/8319/perlgarn

Josefa, how about quilting?
Quilting belongs in the sewing section, so it’s a technique!

Knitting it sideways would also be a technique...

Thanks for the link, Ruth.
It’s okay to have multiple threads on the same topic, especially when the first thread is already so old. :-)

Thanks for the suggestions, Nadeleule.
Would you like to start some threads on this, or should I gradually turn these suggestions into threads?

I’ll gladly leave that up to you ;)

OK :-)

Perle cotton is an embroidery thread made by twisting several thin strands together. It’s mainly used for embroidery. I’ve also used my leftovers for small crochet projects. There is also yarn for knitting or crocheting called “Perle,” sold in 50 g balls with a length of about 200 m; knitters also refer to this as Perlgarn.
