DMC Soft Cotton (Retors Mat) is a matte cotton tapestry thread made for needlepoint tapestry, surface embroidery, and visible mending. This listing is for one 10 m skein (10 yd 33 in) in Colour 2326, and the matte finish helps keep texture and shading readable in tapestry and crewel-style work. The fiber is combed and singed to help reduce fluff, so stitches stay tidy and the design reads cleanly under bright light.
