Sue Spargo Eleganza 2-ply Perle Cotton, #3 variegated. Sue Spargo’s Eleganza Perle cotton collection is designed to meet the specific needs of hand stitchers, embroiderers and embellishers. Passionate about stitching, Sue set out to design a product of utmost quality in collaboration with WonderFil Specialty Threads. Eleganza is made from 100% Giza 88, the highest caliber extra long staple Egyptian cotton: fibers spun with this create a thread of extreme softness, strength and luster. An extra 15% twist has been incorporated into the design of Eleganza resulting in a thread of superior stability, uniformity and sewability. Eleganza is double gassed and mercerized to eliminate build up of lint and snub; use for wool applique, hand embroidery, Sashiko and more. (Sue offers the following recommendations for needles when stitching with 3wt Eleganza: Chenille #18 (Clover, Tulip), Milliners #15.) Sue has designed a bright, saturated color palette along with a unique line of variegates. (Swatches below are of #8 Perle; all Sue Spargo thread colors are the same through the three weights.) Sold per 30 yard (27m) spool and available in 54 variegated colors only available in the Sue Spargo line, choose below:
