Cotton perle 5 single skein

£2.50

Mercerised cotton thread, smooth and strong, in skeins of approximately 20 yards; equivalent in thickness to something like a perle 5. This perle 5 is from a new supplier and is a slightly thicker version of the perle 8 cotton. This one is slightly softer and more lustrous than my last perle 5.

Hand-dyed with Procion and, as always, I can't guarantee that anything is completely colourfast. Yardage estimates are approximate.

The size and shape of the skeins means that they count as a large letter, for mailing purposes - the postage cost is too expensive for a single skein, but you can add several of these to another purchase for no additional postage cost. It costs the same to send one skein as it does to send twenty. I have several other single skeins available at the moment so you can curate your own collection.

Please use the drop-down menu to select colours (please note - where multiples exist, they are not identical - just very similar):

TC5.1 coral - a range of very pretty peachy/apricot pinks, from very pale to medium dark in places
TC5.2 agate - mostly rich taupe with red/reddish-brown flashes
TC5.3 aqua pink - pale silvery greyish-aqua with very subtle pale lilac highlights
TC5.4 deep pinks - medium dusky magenta-pinks
TC5.5 sky - the greyish pale blues of an early-winter sky
TC5.6 rain cloud - darkish grey-blues with subtle silvery highlights
TC5.7 spring green - bright yellow-greens with mint greens and blues
TC5.8 light olive - neutral pale olive/taupe with subtle grey-green highlights
TC5.9 jade - a pretty range of blue-greens
TC5.10 desert - warm golden yellows with sandy browns
TC5.11 golden brown - rich golden browns with paler taupe highlights

UK postage will be via standard first class; all overseas postage will be via Royal Mail International Tracked.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION for non-UK customers - please read before ordering:

- Please ensure that you pick the correct country from the drop-down menu. Any orders where the address and country do not correspond (for example, a US address with UK as the country) will be cancelled and refunded. Choosing UK, when you don’t live in the UK, will cause the automated checkout to apply UK shipping rates. You must pay the correct shipping rate for your country.
- Your purchase may be subject to additional customs charges depending on your location. You can use online import tax calculators to estimate what the additional import charges will be before you buy. Please be aware that I have no control at all over how much you will be charged in import duties; it is your responsibility to find out before making a purchase.
- Your customs office may occasionally open and inspect your parcel before delivering it to you. Please understand that I have no control over this.
- When paying by card, please try and remember your purchase when your bank statement arrives. The amount will look different because of the currency conversion. If you initiate a dispute with your bank because you don’t recognise the amount, I have to prove to your bank that you did make the purchase, and I am charged a non-refundable fee even if the purchase was genuine. Please contact me before initiating a dispute if you are in any doubt about your purchase.
