Description:

Moretti Effetre Lilac Dark Pastel is a soft glass color rod pulled as a solid cane for torchworking. The color is a muted, opaque lilac in a darker value, useful when you want a purple tone that stays solid and readable without transparency. In lampworking, rods like this are chosen for consistent feeding into the flame, making them ideal for building bead bodies, laying down smooth base color, and adding decorative layers where you want strong coverage and clean edges.

How it is used:

• Pre-warm the rod in the far back of the flame, then bring it up to a working glow to prevent shock.
• Apply molten glass to a prepared mandrel to form bead shape, or apply to hot glass as an opaque color layer.
• Use the rod for dots, bands, and scrollwork, or pull stringer for fine line detail and controlled patterning.
• Combine with compatible soft glass colors for contrast, borders, and layered designs in beads and small sculptural work.

Dimensions:

• Rod diameter: 4mm – 7mm
