Stitching with DMC Light Effects
Light Effects Precious Metal Lilac is a metallic Light Effects thread. The finish matters more than the hue: it catches light in a way matte cotton cannot, so use it for sparkle accents, stars, ornaments, and lettering highlights rather than large filled areas. Metallic thread frays faster, so stitch with shorter lengths and a slightly larger needle.
The nearest Stranded Cotton colors below match on screen color only; none of them will replicate the metallic sheen.
