The beige color (842) of this DMC Perlé No. 8 embroidery thread has a neutral and natural tone, widely used in rustic motifs, country compositions, and embroidery on linen or jute. It is a 100% mercerized cotton thread, combed, flame-singed, and mercerized twice, with a soft pearly sheen and a smooth texture to the touch. Because it is not divisible, it always maintains the same thickness, facilitating work in stitch counting techniques. It comes in a 10g skein with 80 meters, with long-lasting color even after several washes. It is suitable for traditional embroidery, cross-stitch, hardanger, richelieu, blackwork, redwork, smocking, appliqué, and crochet, being a versatile choice to combine with other colors in natural and discreet compositions.
