DMC Pearl Cotton is a twisted, non-divisible thread for hand embroidery, needlepoint, and crochet edging when you want crisp, dimensional stitches and neat coverage. In Colour 797, this size 5 skein provides 25 m (27 yd) of perle cotton for outlining, decorative seams, and textured fills. Work with shorter lengths and a larger-eye needle to reduce kinks, and keep the skein bands on for quick shade identification.
