Eleganza #8wt Perle Cotton Ball Colour Set - Pastels (12 x 5g)

Pastels is a soft, sugary palette — bubble gum pink, peach, rose, honey and lemon, key lime and mint, pale blue, French lavender, silver and a clean off-white. Beautiful for baby quilts, spring projects, and any time you want hand stitching to read as gentle detail rather than a bold outline.

Twelve balls of WonderFil Eleganza #8 perle cotton, boxed in a curated palette — a lovely way to build a working thread stash without picking colours one at a time.

Eleganza is an 8wt, 2-ply, 100% long staple Egyptian cotton. It's double gassed and mercerised, which gives it a smooth, lustrous surface that glides through fabric and leaves very little lint behind. The tight twist means your stitches sit firm and even, and the subtle sheen lifts hand stitching beautifully.
