Made from 100% extra-long staple cotton, this thread provides a smooth finish and durability, making it suitable for cross stitch on different fabric counts, freestyle embroidery, and canvas work. Each skein contains 8 meters of thread composed of 6 individual strands, allowing you to separate them to adjust the thickness of your stitches according to your design needs. This specific color is equivalent to DMC 522 and 3363 or Anchor 859, which helps you maintain consistency if you are combining it with other brands in a single piece.
