The Luca-S Stranded Cotton in shade 502 is a versatile embroidery floss designed for a variety of needlework techniques. Made from 100% long-staple cotton, this thread offers enhanced strength and durability, which helps it withstand the friction of repeated stitching without fraying. Each skein provides 8 meters of thread composed of 6 divisible strands, allowing you to adjust the thickness of your stitches to suit the detail of your project. This particular color is equivalent to DMC 3799 and Anchor 236, making it easy to integrate into existing patterns. It is well-suited for cross stitch, freestyle embroidery, canvas work, and counted thread embroidery, providing a consistent finish for anyone from hobbyists to experienced crafters.
