DMC Pearl Cotton Size 5 is a smooth cotton thread for hand embroidery and finishing details where you want visible texture and clear stitch definition. This skein provides about 25 m (27.3 yd) in Colour 604, suitable for outlines, edging, and decorative stitches on fabric, linen, or needlework canvas. Pick a needle with a larger eye and keep stitch tension even to help the thread glide and lay neatly as you work.
