The Luca-S Stranded Cotton in shade 283 is a versatile embroidery thread designed for a variety of needlework projects. Made from 100% extra-long staple cotton, this material ensures a smooth and consistent glide through the fabric, which helps you maintain an even tension during your work. Each 8-meter skein weighs 10 grams and consists of 6 individual strands that can be separated depending on the thickness required for your specific design. This thread is well-suited for cross stitch on different fabric counts, as well as freestyle embroidery, canvas work, and counted thread techniques. Because it corresponds to DMC 701 and Anchor 227, you can easily integrate it into existing patterns or use it to replace these specific colors in your collection.
