Sue Spargo's Eleganza Perle cotton collection is designed to meet the specific needs of hand stitchers, embroiderers and embellishers. Eleganza is made from 100% Giza 88, the highest calibre extra-long-staple Egyptian cotton. Fibres spun with this fibre create a thread of extreme softness, strength and lustre. 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 the buildup of lint and snub, largely enriching the appeal of stitchery. Sue has designed a bright, saturated colour palette along with a unique line of variegates which contain extra short variegations in order to provide rapid colour change on small-scale designs.
