The Luca-S Stranded Cotton in shade 290 is a versatile embroidery thread designed for a variety of needlework projects, including cross stitch, freestyle embroidery, canvas work, and counted thread embroidery. Each 8-meter length is composed of 100% extra-long staple cotton, which ensures a smooth glide through the fabric and reduces the likelihood of snagging during your work. This thread consists of 6 individual strands that you can easily separate depending on the thickness required for your specific design. Because it uses high-quality long-staple fibers, you can expect a consistent finish and durability that suits both beginners and experienced crafters looking for reliable materials for their detailed hand-embroidery pieces.
