The Luca-S Stranded Cotton in shade 162 is a versatile embroidery floss designed for a variety of needlework projects. Made from 100% extra-long staple cotton, this thread provides a smooth and consistent stitching experience, which is particularly helpful when working on cross stitch, freestyle embroidery, or canvas work. Each 8-meter skein weighs 10 grams and consists of six individual strands that can be easily separated, allowing you to adjust the thickness of your stitches depending on the fabric count or the detail required for your design. This specific color corresponds to DMC 598 and Anchor 928, making it a reliable choice for those following established patterns or matching existing threads. Because of its high-quality composition, it is well-suited for counted thread embroidery where precision and durability are important for the finished piece.
