The Luca-S Stranded Cotton in shade 21 is a versatile embroidery thread made from 100% extra-long staple cotton. Each 8-meter skein consists of six individual threads that you can easily separate to achieve the desired thickness for your project, making it a reliable choice for cross stitch, freestyle embroidery, canvas work, and counted thread techniques. Because it uses colorfast dyes, the thread remains resistant to fading over time and is designed not to frizz or twist during use. You can maintain your finished pieces by washing them at temperatures up to 60 degrees Celsius without worrying about the integrity of the color. This specific shade corresponds to DMC 815 and Anchor 20, allowing you to easily match it with other common embroidery palettes.
