DMC Pearl Cotton Size 3 is a cotton thread made for decorative hand embroidery, needlepoint, and visible mending where you want clean stitch definition. Each skein provides 15 m in Colour 904, with a rounded cord-like profile that sits proudly on the surface and helps fill needlepoint canvas evenly. Use it for borders, lettering, and textured fills, and adjust needle size and tension to suit your fabric count for smooth coverage.
