DMC Pearl Cotton Size 5 is a twisted, non-divisible thread that adds raised texture for outlines, motifs, and decorative stitches. Each 25 m (27 yd) skein is made from highly mercerized, lustrous 100% cotton that stays smooth without fluffing or kinking and holds colourfast brightness over time. Use Colour 611 for cross-stitch, embroidery, needlepoint, and plastic canvas accents; made in France. The tight twist creates a rounded, pearl-like sheen for clean, even coverage.
