Pearl Purl is most commonly used for edging embroidery work. It is also used for adding detailing to pieces. It is a Goldwork material but it is very versatile and can be used across a range of projects. Adding Pearl Purl edging to Silk Shading for example can be very visually effective.
When the wire is pulled slightly it will start to reveal a gold string-of-pearl-like appearance, this can be controlled by how much you chose to pull or not pull apart the coil. Much stronger than regular bullion and with its unique bead-like texture, it allows for thread to be passed through or over its coils with ease.
There are a range of sizes of Pearl Purl with Size 1 being the most common size. This Pearl Purl Bullion is available in both gold and silver.
Sold in multiples of 5 grams (approx 1.5metres)
