The Luca-S Stranded Cotton in shade 401 is a versatile embroidery thread crafted from 100% extra-long staple Egyptian cotton. This high-quality fiber ensures a smooth and even stitch, making it a reliable choice for cross-stitch on various fabric counts, freestyle embroidery, and canvas work. Each 10g skein provides 8 meters of thread composed of 6 individual strands, allowing you to adjust the thickness of your work by separating the plies as needed. Designed for longevity, this thread is color-fast and can be washed at temperatures up to 90°C or dry cleaned without losing its vibrancy. These properties make it practical for creating textile pieces that require occasional cleaning, ensuring your detailed needlework remains bright and intact over time.
