Description:

Moretti Misty Blue is an Effetre soft glass color rod used for lampworking and beadmaking when you want a softened blue that sits between a true pastel and a muted, atmospheric tone. It is supplied as a solid glass rod that is heated in a torch flame and applied as wraps, dots, or pulled into stringer for detail work. Colors like this are especially useful for skies, water themes, cool neutral palettes, and for blending transitions where a stronger blue would feel too saturated.

How it is used:

• Preheat the rod gradually in the outer flame to reduce thermal shock and keep the color heating evenly.
• Use as a base bead color when you want a calm blue that does not overpower surface decoration.
• Pull stringers for fine linework, scrollwork, and subtle shading over opaques and pastels.
• Layer with other Effetre colors to create soft gradients and depth in ocean, cloud, and cool-toned designs.
• Apply dots and simple overlays for clean, controlled color placement in small components.

Dimensions:

• Rod diameter: 5mm – 6mm
