The Luca-S Stranded Cotton in shade 287 is a versatile embroidery thread crafted from 100% extra-long staple cotton. Each 8-meter skein consists of six individual strands that can be easily separated, allowing you to adjust the thickness of your stitches depending on the detail required for your project. This specific hue is equivalent to DMC 15 and Anchor 253, making it a reliable choice for matching colors in existing patterns. Designed for a variety of needlework, this thread works well for cross stitch on different fabric counts, as well as freestyle embroidery, canvas work, and counted thread projects. Its high-quality composition ensures a smooth glide through the fabric, which is helpful for those who enjoy spending long hours on intricate hand-stitched designs.
