DMC Pearl Cotton is a smooth, single-strand thread for hand embroidery and needlepoint, giving decorative stitches crisp definition and a subtle sheen. This Size 3 skein includes about 15 m (16 yd) of Colour 842 for bold outlines, textured accents, and surface stitching that stands out. Unwind the twisted skein before use and stitch in short lengths to help keep the thread even and manageable through longer sessions.
