DMC Pearl Cotton is a twisted embroidery thread for surface embroidery, needlepoint, crochet edgings, and decorative stitching when you want crisp, raised dimension. This Size 3 skein in Colour 740 (DMC shade number) provides 15 m (16.4 yd) of non-divisible, highly mercerized 100% cotton on a twisted skein. Produced in DMC's Mulhouse, France factory, unwind and cut shorter lengths before stitching to help prevent tangling while keeping a smooth, lustrous finish.
