DMC #89 Matte Cotton (Retors Mat) in Colour 2801 is a soft, low-sheen cotton yarn for needlepoint tapestry, crewel, and visible mending accents. The 10 m skein is combed and singed to reduce fluff, with five inseparable plies that build smooth coverage for half cross-stitch, longstitch, weaving, braiding, and bracelets. Wind leftovers on a card or ring for neat storage, and follow DMC care guidance: dry clean only.
