The Luca-S Stranded Cotton in shade 23 is a high-quality embroidery thread crafted from 100% extra-long staple cotton. Each 8-meter skein weighs 10 grams and consists of six individual strands that you can easily separate depending on the thickness required for your project. Because the long-staple fibers make the thread both soft and strong, it is well-suited for a variety of needlework, including cross stitch on different fabric counts, freestyle embroidery, and canvas work. This versatility allows you to achieve clean, consistent stitches whether you are working on counted thread embroidery or more freeform artistic designs.
