Stretching Pearl Purl (Video)

Pearl purl makes an ideal decorative outline. The varying weights add depth and interest to a design.

Before using any pearl purl it is important to prepare it properly. Hold each end firmly between finger and thumb, or grip with tweezers. VERY GENTLY stretch the purl wire – NOT so much that you can see gaps between each coil.
