The Luca-S Stranded Cotton in shade 40 is a versatile embroidery thread designed for a variety of needlework projects. Made from 100% extra-long staple cotton, this thread provides a smooth finish and durability, making it a reliable choice for cross stitch on different fabric counts, freestyle embroidery, and canvas work. Each 10g skein contains 8 meters of thread composed of 6 individual strands, allowing you to easily separate the fibers to adjust the thickness of your stitches. This flexibility is particularly useful for those practicing counted thread techniques who need precise control over their detail and texture.
