The Luca-S Stranded Cotton in shade 244 is a versatile embroidery thread designed for a variety of needlework techniques. Made from 100% extra-long staple cotton, this thread provides a smooth finish and consistent strength, making it a reliable choice for cross stitch, freestyle embroidery, canvas work, and counted thread projects. Each 8-meter skein weighs 10 grams and consists of 6 individual strands that you can easily separate to adjust the thickness of your stitches according to your design needs. This specific color is equivalent to DMC 909 and Anchor 229, allowing you to maintain color consistency across different brands. Because of its high-quality composition, the thread glides easily through the fabric, which helps reduce hand fatigue during long crafting sessions. It is well-suited for both beginners and experienced embroiderers who require a dependable material for detailed decorative work.
