The Luca-S Stranded Cotton in shade 427 is a versatile embroidery floss made from 100% extra-long staple cotton. Each 10g skein provides 8 meters of thread composed of 6 individual strands, which you can separate depending on the thickness required for your project. This specific color is equivalent to DMC 6, ensuring consistency for those following established patterns. Because of its composition and structure, this thread is well-suited for a variety of needlework, including cross stitch, freestyle embroidery, canvas work, and counted thread embroidery. The long-staple fibers provide a smooth finish and durability, making it a reliable choice for detailed hand-stitching.
