Create crisp, dimensional stitches with DMC Pearl Cotton, a non-divisible, highly mercerized thread wound on a smooth ball for even tension. Size 8 is a fine weight for delicate outlines, hardanger and crochet edgings; each ball supplies 80 m (87 yd) of 100% cotton, made in France. Shade 414 brings a subtle pop to embroidery, needlepoint, smocking, applique and other creative stitchery projects with clean, glossy definition.
