DMC Soft Matte Cotton is a low-sheen tapestry thread made for needlepoint canvas, tapestry work, and visible mending that calls for a cotton look. Each single 10 m skein (10 yd 33 in) in Colour 2563 is 100% cotton and lays smoothly for half cross-stitch and long stitch without splitting into separate strands. Use it for clean coverage in borders and motifs, and follow the maker’s care guidance to keep finished work looking crisp over time.
