DMC Pearl Cotton is a non-divisible, twisted embroidery thread that adds raised texture to hand stitching, from classic cross-stitch to needlepoint and decorative surface embroidery. This No. 5 skein (25 m/27 yd) is made from 100% mercerized cotton for a smooth, lustrous finish and consistent tension as you stitch. Use shade B5200 for outlines, monograms, and accent details; it is colourfast, resists kinking, and is made in France.
