The Luca-S Stranded Cotton in shade 408 is a versatile embroidery thread designed for a variety of needlework projects. Made from 100% extra-long staple cotton, this 8-meter skein consists of six individual strands that you can easily separate to adjust the thickness of your stitches. It serves as a reliable alternative to DMC 356 or Anchor 5975, ensuring you can maintain color consistency across your work. Because of its composition and flexibility, this thread is well-suited for cross stitch, freestyle embroidery, and canvas work. Whether you are working on counted thread embroidery or a more freeform piece, the natural cotton fibers provide a clean finish and a smooth glide through the fabric.
