The Luca-S Stranded Cotton in shade 398 is a versatile embroidery floss designed for a variety of needlework projects. Made from 100% extra-long staple cotton, this 6-ply thread provides a smooth finish and consistent strength, making it a reliable choice for cross stitch, freestyle embroidery, and canvas work. Each 8-meter skein weighs 10 grams and is color-matched to DMC 3825 and Anchor 1047, allowing you to easily coordinate it with other common thread brands. Because the thread consists of six individual strands, you can separate them to adjust the thickness of your stitches according to your specific design needs. This flexibility makes it suitable for both detailed counted thread embroidery and more textured hand-stitching, giving you control over the final look of your textile art.
