DMC Pearl Cotton is a thick, twisted embroidery thread made for bold decorative stitches in needlepoint, embroidery, and crochet accents, with a smooth twist that shows stitch definition. This Size 3 skein in colour 703 provides about 15 m (16⅖ yd) of single-strand thread, so you stitch straight from the skein and avoid separating plies. Produced in DMC's Mulhouse, France factory since the 1850s, it helps add raised texture and tidy coverage on fabric or canvas.
