Silk Wrapped Purl Size 2
Quantity in Package Each package has 1 meter of silk purl Thread Structure Silk Wrapped Purls are crafted by wrapping copper wire with delicate filament silk, then coiling the silk-wrapped wire around a mandrel, or "needle," to form a tightly wound spring shape known as a purl. The diameter of the purl is determined by the size of the needle used during the coiling process. These exquisite elements are part of the Cabinet of Curiosities Historic Colors Collection, showcasing both traditional craftsmanship and the rich, vibrant hues of history. They are available in a range of sizes: Super, #2, #4, #5, and #8, from smallest to largest. The color of the wire can affect light colors.
