The Luca-S Stranded Cotton in shade 397 is a versatile embroidery thread crafted 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 achieve the exact thickness needed for your project. This specific hue is equivalent to DMC 919 and Anchor 340, making it easy to match with other common thread brands. 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. You can use it for everything from detailed miniature pieces to larger decorative fabrics, benefiting from the strength and smooth finish of the long-staple fibers.
