The Luca-S Stranded Cotton in shade 301 is a versatile embroidery floss crafted from 100% long-staple Egyptian cotton. Each 8-meter skein consists of six individual strands, allowing you to adjust the thickness of your stitches by separating the threads according to your project's needs. Because of the long-staple fibers, this thread is naturally soft yet strong, ensuring it remains durable throughout the stitching process. It is well-suited for detailed work such as cross-stitch, needlepoint, and counted thread embroidery, as well as more fluid, free-style designs where a smooth finish is desired.
