DMC Light Effects is a specialty embroidery floss designed to add shimmer and reflective highlights to cross-stitch, embroidery, and needlepoint. Each skein provides 8 m (8.7 yd) in shade E990, so you can brighten lettering, borders, and small motifs without overpowering the design. Blend it with standard cotton floss for subtle sparkle or stitch it alone for bold shine on cards, ornaments, and decorative accessories.
