DMC Cotton 6-Strand Embroidery Floss is made for cross-stitch, surface embroidery, and needlepoint on Aida, linen, and other stitching fabrics. Shade 223 Lt Shell Pink is supplied as an 8 m pull skein of double-mercerized long-staple cotton for smooth stitch definition and a soft sheen. For best results, separate strands only as needed, keep tension even, and test on a small area before washing a finished piece to help maintain colourfast results.
