The Luca-S Stranded Cotton in shade 254 is a versatile embroidery floss designed for a variety of needlework projects. Made from 100% extra-long staple cotton, this thread provides a smooth finish and durability, making it suitable for cross stitch, freestyle embroidery, canvas work, and counted thread techniques. Each 8-meter skein weighs 10 grams and consists of 6 individual strands that you can easily separate to adjust the thickness of your stitches according to your design needs. This specific hue is equivalent to DMC 988 and Anchor 243, allowing you to maintain color consistency if you are working on a project that requires multiple brands. Because of its high-quality composition, the thread glides easily through the fabric, which helps reduce hand fatigue during long hours of detailed stitching.
