The Luca-S Stranded Cotton in shade 353 is a versatile embroidery thread designed for a wide range of needlework projects. Made from 100% extra-long staple cotton, this thread provides a smooth finish and durability, making it suitable for cross stitch on various fabric counts, freestyle embroidery, canvas work, and counted thread techniques. Each 8-meter skein weighs 10 grams and consists of 6 individual strands that you can easily separate to adjust the thickness of your stitches. This specific color is equivalent to DMC 19 and Anchor 311, allowing you to maintain consistency if you are working on a pattern that references those brands.
