The black (310) color of this DMC Perlé No. 8 embroidery thread is a deep, intense black, indispensable for outlines, monograms, and graphic motifs that require strong contrast. It is a 100% mercerized cotton thread, combed, flame-singed, and mercerized twice, with a striking pearly sheen and good resistance to wear. Because it is not divisible, it always maintains the same thickness, facilitating stitch control in counting techniques. It comes in a 10g skein with 80 meters, with proven colorfastness after repeated washings. It is suitable for cross-stitch, hardanger, richelieu, blackwork, redwork, smocking, appliqué, and crochet, being one of the most used colors in traditional embroidery to give definition and depth to motifs.
