The Luca-S Stranded Cotton in shade 293 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, freestyle embroidery, canvas work, and counted thread techniques. Each 8-meter skein weighs 10 grams and consists of 6 individual strands that you can separate depending on the thickness required for your specific design. This particular color is a direct equivalent to DMC 11, allowing you to easily integrate it into existing patterns or replace missing colors in your collection. Because of its high-quality composition, the thread glides easily through the fabric, which helps reduce hand fatigue during long stitching sessions.
