Item Name:
Moretti Effetre Special Rod - Butternut - 3mm - 5mm
SKU:
1556414
Description:
Moretti Butternut is a warm, earthy yellow-brown soft-glass color from Effetre, supplied as straight pulled rods for steady heating and consistent results in the flame. This color sits in a butternut and tan range that’s especially useful when you want natural, muted warmth instead of a bright primary yellow.
In lampworking, rods like this are commonly used for bead bases, sculptural elements, and detail work where you want an opaque or semi-opaque looking body color that pairs well with ivory tones, browns, ambers, and many transparent overlays. The rod form makes it easy to feed into the flame for gathers, pull down into stringer for fine line work, or apply as controlled accents for pattern and contrast.
How it is used:
- Heat the rod end evenly and build a gather for winding onto a mandrel for beads.
- Use as a base color for sculptural components such as leaves, animals, and earthy palette designs.
- Pull stringers from the rod to create fine lines, veining, dots, and decorative striping.
- Layer with compatible 104 COE soft-glass colors to create warm, natural gradients and subtle contrast.
