The Luca-S Stranded Cotton in shade 396 is a versatile embroidery thread made from 100% extra-long staple cotton. Each 8-meter skein weighs 10 grams and consists of 6 individual plies, allowing you to separate the strands to adjust the thickness of your stitches based on your project's needs. This specific color is equivalent to DMC 920 and Anchor 1004, making it easy to match with existing palettes. Because of its high-quality composition, this thread is well-suited for a variety of needlework, including cross stitch on different fabric counts, freestyle embroidery, and canvas work. Whether you are working on counted thread embroidery or a more freeform piece, the long-staple fibers provide a smooth glide through the fabric for a consistent finish.
