DMC Pearl Cotton Size 3 is a twisted, non-divisible thread that gives hand embroidery a satin sheen and added depth to every stitch. This Colour 400 skein uses the thickest Pearl Cotton size for bold outlines, edging, and textured details that sit proudly on the surface of your work. Pair it with counted-thread or freehand designs, then wind any remaining thread onto a card to keep it neat and ready for the next project.
