DMC Pearl Cotton is a twisted, non-divisible thread that creates raised texture for embroidery, needlepoint, and decorative stitch work. This Size 5 skein in Colour 912 provides 25 m (27.3 yd) of highly mercerized 100% cotton with a smooth, lustrous finish that glides without splitting. Ideal for satin stitch, outlines, and surface embellishment on cotton, linen, or canvas; select a needle with a larger eye and keep tension even for clean coverage.
