What makes perle cotton different than floss?

Perle cotton is non-divisible, with a smooth, lustrous finish and tight twist for durable, textured stitches that “pop”, unlike floss it skips fussy strand-splitting and resists fraying.

Does the mercerized finish wear off over time?

No – the finish is permanent, retaining sheen and strength even after washing.

Is Eleganza™ resistant to fraying?

Yes – the tight 2-ply twist and mercerization minimize fraying, even with frequent handling.
