The Luca-S Stranded Cotton in shade 285 is a versatile embroidery thread made from 100% extra-long staple cotton. Each 8-meter skein consists of 6 individual strands, allowing you to easily separate the fibers to adjust the thickness of your stitches based on your project's needs. This specific color is equivalent to DMC 923 and Anchor 923, making it a reliable choice for matching existing patterns. Because of its composition and strength, this thread is well-suited for cross stitch on various fabric counts, freestyle embroidery, and canvas work. Whether you are working on a detailed counted thread piece or a more freeform design, the natural cotton fibers provide a clean finish and consistent tension for any needlework enthusiast.
