The Luca-S Stranded Cotton is a versatile embroidery thread made from 100% extra-long staple cotton, which provides a natural balance of softness and strength. Each skein contains 8 meters of thread composed of 6 individual strands, allowing you to separate them to achieve the desired thickness for your project. Because of its durable fibers, this thread is well-suited for a variety of needlework, including cross stitch on different fabric counts, freestyle embroidery, and canvas work. It offers a reliable consistency that helps you maintain clean stitches whether you are working on counted thread embroidery or more freeform artistic designs.
