DMC Pearl Cotton Variations is a lustrous thread for hand embroidery, needlepoint, and surface stitches where you want a fuller line without separating strands. Colour 4000 is supplied in Size 5, giving a slightly heavier weight that shows crisp definition on woven fabrics, canvas, and mixed-media work. The rounded pearl finish helps outlines, borders, and textured accents stand out while keeping your stitching smooth and controlled.
