DMC Pearl Cotton is a twisted, non-divisible thread with a satin sheen that adds crisp texture and beautiful stitch definition to hand embroidery and surface stitching. This Size 8 ball contains 80m (87yd) of highly mercerized 100% cotton in Colour 3328, ideal for needlepoint, hardanger, blackwork, smocking, appliqué and crochet accents. Use it as-is for fine detail, or layer stitches for raised effects; the smooth finish resists kinks and fluff and stays colourfast for heirloom-quality results.
