DMC Satin Floss shade S501 is a high-sheen embroidery thread for monograms, lettering, and decorative surface stitches. Each pull skein contains 8 m (8 3/4 yd) of 100% rayon floss that separates into six strands, so you can tailor coverage from fine detail to bold accents. Use it on common embroidery fabrics as an accent with stranded cotton, and keep tension even for smooth, light-catching results.
