Item Name:
Moretti Effetre Premium Special Rod - Opaque Apricot Yellow - 5mm - 6mm
SKU:
1556419
Description:
Moretti Yellow Apricot is a premium opaque soft-glass rod color from Effetre that’s pulled into straight rods for consistent heating and predictable handling in the flame. This is a warm yellow-orange apricot tone that reads solid and saturated, making it a strong choice when you want clean, opaque color coverage without relying on heavy layering.
In lampworking, opaque rods like this are commonly chosen for bold base beads, sculptural elements, and high-contrast details because they hold their color presence well and visually separate cleanly from transparent layers and stringer work. The rod format makes it easy to feed into the flame for gathers, puntying small parts, pulling stringer, or laying down controlled lines when you want the same color throughout the cross-section.
How it is used:
- Heat the end of the rod in a neutral flame and build a gather for winding onto mandrels for beads.
- Use as a base color for sculptural work, then add transparent overlays or surface decoration for depth.
- Pull stringers from the rod to create fine lines, dots, and detailed pattern work.
- Combine with other opaque and transparent 104 COE colors for layered designs and clean color blocking.
