DMC Matte Cotton (Art 89) is a soft, non-shiny cotton yarn made for needlepoint tapestry and canvas work, including half cross-stitch and longstitch. Each skein has 10 m (10.9 yd) of non-separating cotton in DMC colour 2161, giving even coverage and tidy edges on small details and larger filled areas. The matte surface reduces glare under strong light, helping you see your stitches and keep shading clear as you work.
