The Luca-S Stranded Cotton in shade 318 is a versatile embroidery floss crafted from 100% extra-long staple cotton. Each 8-meter skein consists of six individual strands that can be separated depending on the thickness required for your project, providing a consistent weight of 10 grams per unit. This thread is designed for a variety of needlework techniques, including cross stitch on different fabric counts, freestyle embroidery, and canvas work. Because it is equivalent to DMC 612 and Anchor 853, you can easily integrate it into existing patterns or use it for counted thread embroidery where precise color matching is necessary.
