The Luca-S Stranded Cotton in shade 250 is a versatile embroidery thread designed for a variety of needlework projects. Made from 100% extra-long staple cotton, this thread provides the strength and smoothness needed for cross stitch on different fabric counts, as well as freestyle embroidery, canvas work, and counted thread techniques. Each 8-meter skein weighs 10 grams and consists of 6 individual strands, allowing you to easily separate the fibers to adjust the thickness of your stitches according to your design. This specific color is equivalent to DMC 319 and Anchor 218, making it a reliable choice for those following patterns that specify these common industry standards. Because of its high-quality composition, the thread glides easily through the fabric, which helps you maintain a consistent tension and a clean finish in your hand-stitched creations.
